Let's Hear it for Reunion Nametags!
Posted: August 1, 2010
Reflections at a 40-year high school reunion…
So many years have come and gone.
Recall the way we were?
Because we've traveled far and wide,
the memories have blurred.
Without your nametag, I'd be lost.
Without it, where'd I be?
In forty years you've really changed.
Surprisingly, not me!
I'd recognize me anywhere
(especially in the mirror).
I haven't changed the way you have.
It's really kind of weird!
You've put on pounds and lost your hair.
What's left is turning white.
And I'm just like my yearbook pose.
Time hasn't touched me. Right?
Ok, I lie. No one escapes.
Four decades dings us all.
But, what the heck! Who's to impress?
Relax and have a ball!
