My Class Reunion by BalishaMy class reunion will be here... very soon I know..
It's Saturday at 6 o'clock...my ducks are in a row.
Our problem was to drive at night..this I'll tell you true..
I really wanted to attend..Joe said, "This is what we'll do."
A hotel room is reserved, in my favorite old home town..
The next decision...what to wear, in colors black or brown?
I fretted over this, I know..for many, many days..
Will I look nice in bright clothes or shall I wear my gray?
Maybe buying something new will give me what I need..
To lift my spirits for this event...catalogs I'll read.
A three piece outfit in basic black..is what I finally bought..
A scarf that is a beauty was something else I sought.
Joe gave me jewelry to wear.. with roses all in gold..
I found the scarf with fringe and roses .. a beauty to behold.
A purse of rosy red...made of leather soft and fine..
The price was right.I bought it,and finally now it's mine.
Oh, dear I think I'm ready...the outfit hanging on the door..
I have to stop the shopping...I really don't need more.
I wonder if my classmates are stressing out like this..
My class reunion is an event that I really can not miss.
We'll arrive there at 6..and look for old friends that we know..
Why does everyone look so old...with hair as white as snow?
Who are these oldsters looking at my name tag.. oh so near?
Their trifocals on their noses, finding friends that were so dear.
"Where are all the younger ones"... I'll whisper quietly to Joe.
"Are we in the right room tonight?...I really don't think so."
When down the aisle will come friends.. that I have known forever..
We'll hug and kiss and talk..like we've always been together.
Pretty soon familiar faces are all that we will see..
My class reunion is the place that I really want to be.
So, when you get the notice for a reunion just for you..
Be sure to answer back that you'll go and have fun too.
Well, here we go to my 55th...I've given you a peak..
So, think of me on Saturday...I'll tell you more next week :)
