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

Wow Linda!

I enjoyed this poem and also the chat that's brought back my own memories too.

Congrats on your accomplishments  -

If I might offer a cliche that comes to mind: Its' this phrase: You can't wait to graduate so you can 'act' mature, then once you are out in the 'real world' wish you were back in school.

My school days were quite different but to the same end: Miss popularity then - tons of fake friends - then we entered the 'real world' and that was the last of the friendships.....

Sad, but true..

A poignant piece!  :pharoah2
