HIGH SCHOOL REUNION

I got the letter in the mail,
High School reunion, will you be there?
I thought and talked to myself,
if I went who would care?
Memories of that old school,
Algebra, Spanish, teachers I could never fool.
Boys with pimples, girls with long hair;
dresses on prom night with just the shoulders bare;
young fellows in blue tuxs trying to be men.
I wondered (chuckled)had their long hair come to an end?
Football games and snobby cheerleaders,
now with kids and probably secret binge eaters.
Vietnam and burn your bra;
Beetlemania, me strumming my guitar.
Stealing cigarettes from mom,
grounded on the big weekend.
Where were they all now?
Where had they all been?
1969, and just a few good friends.
That was all gone, it came to an end.
I put the paper in the shredder.
I didn’t need them then,
and I don’t need them now.

p.s .I wonder where those old bell bottoms are, oh, well

Hi Junie

Ah school reunions and reminicing about lost youth.  I have never been to a school reunion.  The closest I have come to finding out what people at school are doing now is by signing up with Friends Reunited website here in UK.

The words: I didn't need them then
and I don't need them now
really struck a cord with me.  As you say in your poem, I had a few good friends at school (who I still am in touch with) but the rest I wouldn't be that interested in meeting again.

Thanks for the read

Nina
