a PROPHECY They told me I must prophesy. But I know not what to do. For I was not born a prophet. Any more than you; I snent the day in study, (Strange tho for me it seemed) And then, all worn and weary, I fell asleeD and dreamed. T rose ir; Just a moment. And stepped out the open door. Into a city, strange to me, Although each and every store. Bore names known in Theresa, For twenty years and more. Then I saw a daily paper, Dated 1954. I beheld near me a lady, I thought I had seen that face Yet I could not place it In exactly Its right place; At last she stood before me And all wonder vanished quite; My old chum, Polly Bartlettl And I met her with delight. Strange that I should know her The change in her was great. She was tall and very slender And moved with queenly state. She seemed surprised to see me Said I had been long away. And gave me an Invitation To remain with her that day. Her kind offer I accepted. And she hailed a flying car. Soon we were driving swiftly, Toward the city limits far. The conductor eyed me closely, 'Twas a lady short and stout Fully able to assist the Passengers, to step in or out. As I paid ray fare she knew me. Perhaps by second sight Mary Wilson thus was proving Her belief In woman's eights. On the car a dude was sitting, Toying with a poodle small 'Twas Don Kilbornl I scarcely Would've known the man at all. Soon we flitted past a corner Where Gibbs' home used to lie And I noticed there a studio As we were passing by. Behind an array of easels Stood a girl I knew at sight Yes, it was Chris Turturro Painting with all her might. Tbe day brought its surprises: Betty dancing on the stage, Trudy in the opera house. Bob, a scientist, was the rage Margaret, a kindly nurse Margie, a housewife prim Mary Warrick who married first Was on a farm with Now I was tired and sleepy So I felt that It was best To withdraw myself a little For an hour or two of rest. I slept long and very soundly. And judge of my surprise When again, after my slumber I opened my drowsy eyes. The dream had been so lifelike That e'en yet I could not feel That the vision I'd witnessed Had been anything but real. And, my dear old classmates Dreams oft-times come true, Who knows but that my vision May be realized by you?
