Reunion Poem
‘Twas the night of my class reunion and all through the house
I checked in each mirror and begged my poor spouse
to say I looked great, that my chin wasn’t double
and he lied through his teeth just to stay out of trouble.
I swallowed his words, hook, sinker and line
I checked in each mirror and begged my poor spouse
to say I looked great, that my chin wasn’t double
and he lied through his teeth just to stay out of trouble.
I swallowed his words, hook, sinker and line
and entered the banquet hall feeling just fine.
Somehow I’d expected my classmates to stay
as young as they were in that long ago day.
We hugged our “Hellos” but, like me, through the years,
they’d added gray to their hair and pounds to their rears.
But as we shared a few memories and told old class jokes,
we were 18 in spirit, though we looked like our folks.
So we turned up the music and dimmed down the lights
Rolled back the years and were young for the night.

This is so funny......but also so true! But, I can't wait to see everyone. Let's just keep the lights low to help out. Lol
