Pride of the Tyne is all Mine!!

Medical reunion on the Tyne

Memories of friends here and past

Anticipation for a while

Nostalgia, weight gain, wrinkles cast.

Forty five years since graduation

Class of 67,  a motley crew *

When looking back, as we stepped out

To hone our skills in life anew

Our lives, careers and destiny set

Would we have chosen this to tell

What lay ahead in the NHS

Muttering  Meldrew’s "what the hell!"

Thank you Moira, Dave and Pat

Your organisational skills are canny

When thinking of our fun and needs

When planning reunions for the many

We all enjoy results of your “toil”

Ageing peers our smiles to win

All over in a matter of hugs and  laughs

Until we meet in 5 years agin 

So whilst we have our life and health

As opportunities we embrace

We'll live each day, as if our last

Our dignity -  still in place!

*Motley Crew  etymology 13^th century Middle English– composed of elements of varied and diverse character!!
