Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

Sweet Sixteen

Sweet Sixteen
by Franklin Price
1/1/2016

Sweet sixteen is finally here
and sixteen minutes in
If I waited to write longer
Would be too sleepy to begin

It's eight sixteen I went to bed
At the ending of verse one
Watching the bright ball drop
Was tiring but fun

My wife said if you stay up
You're as crazy as a loon
You can finish in the morning
If  you awaken before noon

As you see it's not near noon yet
And I really must confess
Did not mean to write about myself
But New Year's greetings to address

Happy New Year to you
To your friends and family
Hope this year is awesome
Hope it's the best that it can be

May your road in life be paved and smooth
May peace and love abound
And at the end of sweet sixteen
May we all still be around
