Thanks to stoner on a rollercoaster, I found this writing challenge. I admit I am a bit rusty, but through the month I should be able to stock up on WD-40.
MCMLXXXI
Your whole life awaits
Limitless world before you
Go, curious one!
MCMLXXXVI
Your sister is here
Jealousy will shroud your love
Envy rages on
Now you’re grown, you understand
No one will know you better
MCMXLI
Your life
Will start to suck
For the next several years
Remember it’s not forever
Fight on!
MCMXLVI
Enjoy marching band
Life will suck a little less
Playing clarinet
MMI
Your heart
Beating for her
Holding on your first love
The time is coming, she will break
Your heart
MMVI
You’re going nowhere!
You have to change your life now!
Go join the Navy.
But before you leave for Boot,
You find the love of your life.
MMXI
You’re back in college
An engineering student
Surrounded by kids
This major is most unique
From all your other choices
MMXVI
Your child
Will be here soon
You want to be a dad
But you must wait two years to hold
Your child
MMXXI
You will turn forty
I hope looking back will bring
Some happy feelings
