Your old school has changed
The footprint is the same but
New walls, new windows, new floors
Grace the hallways and classrooms.
In Bothell new restaurants have replaced
Old drugstores. Donut shops are closed
But the Ranch Drive In, that bastion of
Burgers and tartar sauce is still open.
We had onion rings and vanilla cokes
The chemical taste made you sad.
Such are the realities we face
Year after year.
