Funny Poems About Teenagers

A poem about life as a teenager which is honest, insightful and uproariously funny. I'd be the first to admit that Teenage Angst may not appeal to teenagers, but other readers will undoubtedly spot character traits and behavioural abnormalities shared by teenage relatives or friends.

Teenage Angst

Teenage angst, teenage angst,
Zits and spots and furtive wanks,
Mobile phones that trill all night,
Pizza Hut to have a bite,
Teenage magazines, teenage books,
Fleeting glances, meaningful looks,
Brad and Janet, Clarke and Lana,
Horsey girls at the gymkhana,
Pot noodle parties, vodka bars,
Late night buses, father's cars,
Loads of homework, loads of grief,
Burger King to eat some beef,
Throwing French Fries, blowing straws,
Video store to take out Jaws,
Blue Ray dreaming, PS3,
Home from school, no bloody key,
Fucking parents, fucking teachers,
Fucking nuns and fucking preachers,
Chicken nuggets, Flake McFlurry,
Gulping thick shakes in a hurry,
Pepsi Cola, Coke in plenty,
God, I wish that I was twenty.
