And we're OUTTA HERE!

Last night we had a get-together,
The grad class, 2008,
Threw a party, got some paper,
Then went home to celebrate.

I went to my dear wifey's house,
With my love and some dear friends.
We ate some junk and talked too loud,
We tied up some loose ends.

We sung, in tune, to Sweeny Todd
Every word and verse and line.
We chastised (cute) poor Mr. Depp
When he sung his out of time.

All in all, the time was good,
And Johnathan did to well!
I know my loves will make it!
Though, truly, only time will tell.

I don't worry for myself or them,
We've worked hard and we've learned
You need to laugh and cry and scream
To keep from being turned.

I look back on some others, really,
With some unlikely snide distaste.
This is not a common thing, for me!
But it was so earned for this, it's place!

Alas, this is but high school,
And these things have come to naught...
It was about time they learned the lesson
That they would rather not be taught.

On the bright side there is Heidi,
Smart and beautiful to behold!
We've worked some on her confidence
And sometimes she's even bold!

Olivia with her skill and wit
And her hidden sides to see.
A musician and writer of 1337est craft
She'll be up on stage, you'll see.

Stephy with her curvy bits!
And by that I mean her mind!
Such laughter and intelligence
And always very kind.

Of course there is my lady, bright,
And so proud, upright and strong.
Milady Rae with her cheerful smile
My one and only, all along.

So many others I could mention,
That made a startling burst of things,
Personality, humor, other sorts,
As though those papers gave them wings!

I promise, when I have my shop,
So little, clean and neat,
You can all come see me,
For something pretty and a treat.

Regardless, into the world we go!
And I know my fellow grads will shine!
But the best, of course, will always be
The grads that I've called mine.
