50th reunion, 1992

Upon receiving notice in 1992, of my High School's 50th reunion, two years away:

When I received the notice of our meet two years away,
I thought, "They really REALLY plan ahead !"
But I decided there would be a lot to do and say,
And things we wouldn't want to leave unsaid.

This gives us time to pick our brains and pull out from the past
Some things we should have done, but were too shy;
And time to reminisce about the years that went so fast,
Remembering the fun of days gone by.

It also gives us time to do a personal up-date,
For after fifty years we've changed a bit:
A few of us along the way have gained a little weight....
This gives us time to get a bit more fit !

For those of us with greying hair, we'll try a different shade
To make us look as good as we did then
With any luck at all, we hope your memories will fade
And you'll think we were gorgeous "way back when".

Two years will give us time to exercise away some fat,
Or have a face-lift, or a tummy-tuck.
(Please, no nose jobs, or we'll all be saying "Who is that?")
We'll all know each other, with some luck !

This will be a great re-union, thanks to all of you
Who are planning things for all of us,
And we know that there will be a million things to do...
"Thanks" for all the work and all the fuss!
