 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

Oh, the aches and pains
Bad knees but avoiding canes
Class of "56", my school album
Thought I would look in
Found the Memorial section
Those that were lost or missing
Out of a class of over 400
127 of my classmates have passed on
Thats just the ones we know about confirmed
The girl who said, "You well never amount to anything!"
I sat on the hill she in the trailor park
Left us in "2004" left behind fourth husband
The beauty every boy wanted to date
including me
"2009" married quarterback who had it all "2007"
We were on the chess team "2000" 2002" "2011"
Class President girls charmer, "2005"
I'm thinking I am lucky to be alive
The basketball team only two still holding a ball
You know aches and pains of growing old
Is really not all that bad
It beats the alternative
