“Welcome to the Real World, can I take your order?
Oh, I’m sorry, we’re fresh out of easy.
No, I’m sorry. We’re out of relaxing too.
Yes, we do have fun, but I’m afraid not much.
You could get a small order of that
With a side of responsibility.”
You never know how childlike you are
Until you become a full-fledged,
On-your-own, no-turning-back-now,
Everything-is-up-to-you
Adult.”
