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

I am so glad that this light piece got to so many readers. I think high school is hard on all teenagers. Of my 3 kids only 2 went to public high school the 3rd child just went from 8th grade right to college. She just graduated from The Royal Veterinary College in London,England with honors and will take a intenship in Florida. I wonder if kids need 4 or 5 years of structured education that just repeats what they learned the last year. I have strong thoughts on the education system in the US.
Thank you all for reading this poke at high school.  Junie Moon
