Hey dude!! Heard that you’re an ADULT,

From now you’re a part of a banished CULT.

Remember, hereby you ought to be more MATURE,

‘Tis  coz for the childish minds you’ll be the MANURE.

Kids and children will start calling you UNCLE!! UNCLE!!

But I’ll fondly call you “UNCLE PAI” from “THE TINKLE”.

Alas! Totally gone will be your youthful TEMPERMENT,

For that particular loss of yours I definitely will LAMENT.

Despite all this you needn’t be in a GLOOM,

Coz’ from now on you’re eligible to be a GROOM.

So start rejoicing my DEAR,

Totally banish all your FEAR.

Let everything else bite the DUST,

And celebrate coz’ dis is your TWENTY FIRST!!!
