Your life in ten steps

In a writing workshop I took a few years ago, one of our exercises was to write our autobiography in ten simple sentences--the result was a lot like poetry. Here's what I wrote:

Born in desert.
Crossed the ocean.
Settled in swamp.
Jumped on bed.
Picked on sisters.
Sang in bathtub.
Swam in pool.
Read in cars.
Shined in school.
Dreamed of island.

Really shows how less can be so much more when it comes to writing, doesn't it? I'd love to read others' life poems.
