@La55 Prophecy As we look in the future what do we see Mary Jean Ackerman is as strict as can be, Not only the kids at school does she teach But Kenny and her own all hear the same speech. Roy now is a farmer, this we can see He lives in the country, can this possibly be? He works like a dog on his run down shack Shirley's left for Missouri, but she's soon coming back. Standing at the air terminal surrounded by men We see Nancy Bamberg has done it again. An old maid she said she was destined to be But we find Nancy sitting on every co-pilot's knee. Jean never went out with any Tom, Dick or Harry But she looked around good and finally found Jerry, Now they are married and live on the farm Jean still hauls garbage but has retained all her charm. Bob Benes a youth who was college bound Cool and smart with no ups and downs. Now sits by the fire at early dawn Reciting many fables of little fawns. In a little white cottage not far away We find our poor Beverly happy and gay. She works like a dog to keep Norm happy every day She's married to him now, and that's how she's paid. Now we look in the future and see our great poet Sonnet, song, and ode, wouldn't you know it, Don Daenzer has turned out to be another Shakespeare His long hair poems we never cease to hear. Mary Bell's a spinster, no man has been found It seems that the minister is still looking around town. Now she's found a man all of her choosing And now she's sure she won't be losing. Deep in the woods in a little brown hut You could find Ken and Mary, and a thoroughbred mutt, Ken's a great sportsman, hunts fowl and game When he misses a rabbit, the dog gets the blame. Irene and Dick have now settled down In a little frame house on the outskirts of town, Dick works very hard all day on the job And at night comes home to the eight little Traubs. Bob and Sandra are married, a perfect two Each of them always has plenty to do. Bob works in the snop and Sandra at home They each have Chevies, both littered with chrome. As we look into our crystal ball We see Judy Duranseau leading us all, Instead of traveling, as she had planned She is making her living, directing a band.
