Katie's 21st Birthday

​

A student’s life

Is lots of fun

Especially when

You’re twenty-one

You move away

From Dad’s stern gaze

And yet make sure

The rent he pays

No need to keep

Your bedroom neat

Nor eat wholefood

Nor eschew meat

You suffer gladly

For your art

While studying

The Indie chart

Best wishes for

This special date

And tons of love

My little Kate.
