The Class Ending

It is that season again 
When men are men 
In the upper class ready to defend 
Their social status as leaders 
With innocent images of being sweeter
Finding ladies to be courted 
Despite not being able to afford it 
Girls flip the magazine pages 
While their beaus make their wages 
For one evening out 
Acting mature looking good no doubt 
They call it a formal dance where the chivalry carries the gentlemen lance 
Escorting their ladies 
Who were childhood mate tees 
Filled with beauty talk they have that certain walk 
Onto the dance floor 
Innocent romance in store 
Prom night is here and trying not to sneer 
Since it is good bye to friends 
After thirteen years together in one community of academic social mends 
It is your stand, your plan to take command 
Kids no more saying kindly adult hood open the door
