Here's an age old recipe you may or may not know Not always very healthy but it may just help you grow Take a new born child and marinate with care Careful not to overcook, just be sure he knows you're there Season him with schooling, add a pinch of what you've learned Prepare him for the cooker, but don't let him get burned Next up is the sauce, the fermented teenage years Stir in some growing pains and a hormonal torments tears Add a job or two until he finds one he does well A pretty female workmate and of course, the boss from Hell Then prepare the garnish, the happiest of weddings Add a measure of patience for choosing furniture and bedding The mixture may be spoiled if he throws in a divorce He can try a different recipe and start again of course Lastly there's the topping, the icing for the cake Children of his own and the retirement plan he'll take Finely chop the money, to give the mix a boost At the end he's going to need it when the vultures come to roost...
The result may be kinda messy, and it may taste sweet and sour Ingredients may vary (in rare cases, by the hour) But there it is on a plate with a side order of strife What comes out depends on what goes in to the mixing bowl of life...
