The Reunion

The Reunion I’ve been invited to a classroom reunion, I can see my old chums over there. Geordie Cockle has got a green suit on, While Denver Crisp, is sporting no hair. These people don’t look as I remember, Some are grey, some old and some fat. Willy Heather is in parliament as a member, Lisa Tabby, has brought her new cat. The years haven’t been kind to Tim Jolly, But made a looker of Beverley Sprite. Dandy Beano is still a right wally, Sharing bad jokes and drinking all night. Danny Sergeant has just left the army, With a medal to make us all proud. Des Troy clenches a fist and goes barmy, Describing his war, to an avid small crowd. Trudy Trotter now owns a small Pig farm, Making bacon for the town folk of Wick. Amy Fry prints Tee shirts “Keep Calm”, and Tim Throup left early, feeling sick. The problem with the old-school reunion, Is the boasting, tall tales and the rest. Familiar old faces, but no playground fun. Why did I reply, to my reunion request?
