You spent all of your teenage years
wanting to be regarded as “An Adult”
heading through the grand halls
of learning – they called “High School”
A Room of your own gave a little freedom
away from Mum and dad
and choices for you to plaster the walls
with the latest musical fad
And sometimes, you’d meet up with your mates
for an indian meal or chinese
filling up with a Korma
or Dim – Sum as you pleased
Of course “Rules of the House” are Gospel
whether you’re a son or a daughter
and not being home at the specified time
would land you in hot water!
