Half a century and counting, each one of us, give or take a few
The years became, but a number, when creating memories anew!
The sparkling eyes behind the inevitable specs still twinkled,
The sprightly legs, despite the middle age spread, still pirouetted!
**
The sharpest brains under the baldness, still magic, they created,
The “Hi!s” and “Hellos”, despite the years, still reverberated!
**
The friendly banter, despite the distances, was still oh-so-warm,
The nostalgic trips down memory lane, despite the years, oh such a balm!
**
The night was young, and so were we, as our young ‘uns discovered,
Nimble dancers and not so nimble ones were some talents uncovered!
**
The night went on and soon, the good stuff was flowing
The Fifties became The twenties and yeah, so was the swaying!
**
The amazing evening and a good night’s sleep later,
It was time for games and fun, a friendly reminder,
Of the days spent in healthy competition banter and lots of cheers,
The screaming n booing n laughter… were we doctors or teenagers!
**
Alas! It was all over too soon, the preparation and excitement
Of meeting old friends and reviving memories of fun n merriment!
As fresh promises of keeping in touch, Good Byes n Au Revoirs rent the air,
The heady whiff of new memories soaked in nostalgia drew us ever near!
