The Over-Fifty Class Reunion (And the Lessons That I Learned)
As we grew older, school friends scattered,
Promises to stay close no longer mattered,
‘Cause, I was the first one to move.
With that distance we grew apart and changed,
Our thoughts, perceptions, directions that ranged,
From marriage, college with career, or both.
Classmates and Fates (I Am Going to a Class Reunion Soon)
This poem is about class reunions.
The first one, which everyone expects to be fun ones,
Often will come across as being dum-ones,
When some try too hard to impress.
The second one is sometimes sparsely attended,
‘Cause of how the last one ended,
When many used pills for impressions intended
While showing off thrills and frills.
