Here's a cute poem I wrote about children. I hope you like it.

A greedy man saw a leprechaun,

While walking down a road,

And said, "I would like

To have a pot of gold."

Then the leprechaun said,

"If it's gold that you like,

Then follow this rainbow,

If you don't mind the hike.

So he followed the rainbow,

"Til it came to end end,

Hoping to find

Lots of money to spend.

But when he got to the end,

What did he see?

An elementary school,

Surrounded by trees.

The man said "Where's the gold?

I've come a long ways,

And now I see

That it didn't pay.

Then the leprechaun appeared,

And said, "You fool!

You can't get any richer

Than finding a school.

"For there you'll find children

As sweet as pie,

Who'll give you love and joy

That money can't buy!

They say "When it rains, it pours,"

And "Bad things come in threes."

Well I'll show you how last August

It happened with me.

First I heard of the mother

Of some kids that I know

Dying in an accident.

Now she can't watch them grow.

Then another child I knew

Died at age eight,

Coming from a trip

That didn't end great.

Then to top it all off,

And the worst by far,

Was hearing of the death

Of my brother-in-law.

So that's how it was,

So I guess I'll just repeat,

"You have to know the bitter,

To appreciate the sweet!"

Well it varies from person to person. But my first one was about at age 13. I'm a virgin and not in a relationship and don't masturbate, and I still have them in my 40's. So, yes, the can certainly go into adulthood.
