An Inconvenient Birthday
Inconvenient birthdays abound,
interconnected by our existence.
In ways both mundane and profound,
inevitably creating resistance.

Nothing like a child's birthday,
negating anniversary activities.
Nor will a holiday be quite as gay,
needing to split its festivities.

Over a long lifetime,
one birthday inconveniences more than most.
Once you've commit a crime,
on your eighteenth birthday you're toast.

Venues around the country agree,
verdicts are severe as a result.
Verily, if you do wrong at that apogee,
visualize being tried as an adult.
