Degree of Maturity

Have you ever wondered? Being in an adult blunder A reason for going to class Besides the well-known intellectual pass Is it to learn the alphabet? Addition subtraction you may get Going to the swing set for fun After morning school work is done Lessons get tougher Recesses physical education play is rougher Dissect a frog Read the Odyssey Greek log Experience another language like English Shakespeare Experimenting wiping your first ‘in love’ tear Relationships come along Figuring out who is really in the wrong Respecting alternative lives Not giving a bother to the neighbors who are two husbands or wives Going off to a higher level Where some are angels others are devils Sharing dorm rooms Walking back from the library under the moon Having a serious set back And a fraternity support with a paddy whack Sorority sisters are all right Waiting for a passionate slobbery bite Four years later you turn your tassel Return to Mom and Dad’s castle Food on the table Free cable First job Is an easy lob Getting a start Pushing the mail cart Reality has no happy hour Invited to the executive lounge to be introduced to power Boss gets nailed You end up in jail Who pays the bail? Parents docking from a vacation sail Life is cruel Is the golden rule Stay independent Avoid resentment Enjoy the short time here By passing another six pack of Corona Beer
