Life's Lifestyle

A Split Cycle*

Birthday do
Young infant
Sweet toothed affair
Cake, candle lit
Blow and wish
Innocent and happy
Friends and family
Gathered merrily

Teenager
His buddies
Tagging along each
With a heart throb
Tea dance by themselves
Loud music
New friends emerged
To meet again
College bound

The guys, spouses
Soul mates and all
Boisterous dinner
Fun filled wine flowing
Never dull
Life of the party
Always there
By design
Or otherwise
Happy to sing
Dance and be merry
