Our Last Class Reunion
Our Last Class Reunion
By Elton Camp
We all knew it was coming to this
We met each five years--not a miss
It was fifty-five years ago
Our group agreed it’d be so
As we grew older and few
It’s become too hard to do
This will be the last time we meet
Teenage acquaintances again to greet
Our familiar school is now gone
Perhaps it’s fitting we move on
Grasping at the past is a mistake
We’ve no contribution to make
The class beauties now faded away
The athletes, old age also did betray
It’s elderly pensioners we’ve become
Our bodies crippled and visages glum
