OUR GOLDEN AGE!

An ode for baby boomers today,

These are our golden days,

Over-sixties in our third age,

We’re sixty shades of senile and grey,

Either old, and fat, and grey,

Or men looking like Sinead,

Gravity has won along the way,

But, we’re the optimists, let’s say,

Our folks had no T.V, and no pill,

That’s why we’re here, no dills,

Did we really stop a war?

Or was it media driven for all?

But, hey, we do it our way,

Let’s all kick butt today,

In this, our third age,

Over-sixties in our golden age!
