It was 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 false teeth, just to stay out of trouble.

Said that ‘neath my thick glasses, my eyes hadn’t changed,

He said my skin was still silky, just covered more range.

I swallowed his words, hook, sinker, and line,

And entered the banquet feeling just fine.

Somehow I’d expected my classmates to stay

As young as they were on that long ago day.

We hugged hello hugs, but like me through the years

They’d added gray to their hair, and pounds to their rears.

Then as we shared a few memories and retold some class jokes

We were eighteen in spirit, though we looked like our folks.

We turned up hearing aid volumes in a very discrete way

Then rolled back the years and were young for the day
