PUBERTY AND THE BODY
Around the 'naughty bits'
and under the armpits
skin starts to get hairy
when youth hits puberty.
In boys the voice deepens
when testicle descends;
and it is from the balls
the deepening voice calls.
There begin the 'wet dreams',
when seed overflow streams.
With girls begins the 'curse'
of woman universe,
when the womb monthly flows,
and breast on the chest grows.
Reproductivity
finds capability,
If love they start to make,
precautions have to take.
Hormones drive emotions,
need for acne lotions,
ere minds accommodate
their bodies' adult state.
Frequent perspiration
makes B.O. sensation
when developed sweat glands
bid us wash more than hands.
