    How about this:

    Ode to An Oldie

    You're older than the whole first grade's
    ages when we add them
    Also older than the 4th grade's test scores
    We know, 'cause we just had them.

    And with age has come wisdom
    You've been "around the block"
    By now you've seen and heard it all--
    Nothing is a shock.

    That long awaited day in life
    has finally arrived
    Your retirement is almost here,
    and miraculously, YOU SURVIVED!

    You've lived to tell the stories of
    a lot of "special" kids,
    A few of them who warmed your heart,
    And a few who never did.

    When you're gone, you'll leave a legacy
    And we'll talk about you here,
    So if you miss us like we miss you
    Please come on back--and volunteer!
