Teens long for the day when they're adults.
They rebel, test boundaries, and throw insults.
Until they're finally eighteen,
And have bills and must clean.
Then they call mom who is glad to consult.
Disclaimer: This is my original work. This is based on how I felt in my early stages of adulthood. It is my limerick submission about the relatable absurdities of life. I hope you enjoy it!

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

Playing Musical Chairs
Many of us can relate to the childhood game of musical chairs. The objective of the game is to find a seat among the chairs laid out in the room before the music finishes. The loser of the game is left standing and excluded from other rounds of the game.

Ahhh the cycle. We are hero’s, then dumb, until we emerge as wise counselors. Love this limerick.
I'm really lucky with my two, great friends throughout their whole growing up and still great friends now. Never had any trouble with them at all, but understand where you are coming from. Great challenge entry
