Turning 21?
Not so fast with the celebration

                    You’re turning 21, big deal
                    You already drive an automobile
                    You can vote at 18
                    And join the merchant marines

                    Go to a movie rated R
                    Sign contracts and buy a car
                    You can already get a loan
                    And a plan for your telephone

                    Sign up for Facebook at 13 or more
                    Even ride the Mattahorn
                    Or need anyone’s consent
                    Travel without a parent

                    Forget the tattoo
                    It’s already up to you
                    You can fly a jet
                    And bike with no helmet

                    21 is over-stated
                    Even for things X-rated
                    So you best chill 
                    And take the chill pill

                    If your going to raise a glass
                    Legally, at last
                    The real age to shoot for
                    Is somewhere around eighty-four
