School days, school days....line up
for entrance into the maze
The boys wrapped up in their glory jackets
the girls are just all a twitter, a jabbering racket.
Line up now, enter two by two
Believe me, nothing else would do
Nary a girl goes without her head scarf
it was the fashion of the day....barf!
Hey! Here's the usual lunchroom scene
Louise, Sandi & Jimmy all standing in line
Grab the tray, tell the lady what you need
I want a baloney & cheese with mustard please.
Pictures from our past, memories revived
Giving credence to events that were our lives.
Sweet are the memories of long lost loves
thoughts float across my mind rising like a dove.
To be young and wild, to howl at the moon on
a starlit night...roar with abandon with all your might.
Make your mark, take your risks...never go quietly
silent into the night.
Icons have fallen and are no more
They were "cool" before it became a word
Today they are idolized as something special
Great talent was theirs for the world to enjoy
Some people are just too beautiful to live.
their lives end suddenly like the butterfly or the
elusive unicorn.
By Sandi...yes that's me in between Jim in plaid and Louise turned towards the camera...taken in 1960!
Seems like a century ago.
