Birthday Poems For 20th Year

These birthday poems for 20th year examine the implications of turning twenty vis-a-vis college and getting a job. This is a topic that might sound familiar to those of you who are, or who have, someone in this age range.

Have you finally reached the Holy Grail of that college degree. That's impressive. That's the entry fee to the corporate world.

The Holy Grail

Welcome to the Holy Grail
Of twenty years, where at full sail
Your seas are calm, horizons vast
You truly have arrived at last.

You've finished school and now you hope
To reap the harvest. Here's some soap
To wash behind your still-wet ears
The corporate world brings many fears.

We hope you're nimble, certainly,
Prepared to job hop laterally
Basket weaving? Decoupage?
You could move back to Dad's garage.

Birthday Poems 20th Birthday

At twenty, you've escaped the "teens"
Don't crow too much, that only means
There's lots more work for little pay
Because you're new here. By the way. . .

That education that you'll get
It's loaded down with student debt
You'll haul around for years to come
So Happy Birthday. Hope it's fun.
