Our son says nobody likes you when you're 23...
I suspect he's quoting Blink 182 at me.
Since our eldest will be turning 23 today,
Want to tell him he should not believe a word they say.
I know lots of people who think he is pretty great;
Funny, smart, and handsome and, on this auspicious date,
As we celebrate another birthday with our son,
We hope he discovers 23 is lots of fun.
It's an age when you're considered one of the adults;
Old enough your education's showing some results,
Young enough you haven't started dragging your caboose
But, when you screw up, you still have youth as an excuse.
Hate to disagree but Blink 182 is wrong;
Twenty-three's the perfect age, so don't believe their song.
It's your year for doing all the things that you enjoy...
Trust your mom on that and Happy Birthday darlin' boy.
