Poetry: For The Boomers, It Is Spring!

"Boomers, busting out all over?"
All over the valleys and the hills!

Some are really, really smart,
Doing poetry and art,

Playing music, writing too,
All the things they love to do,

But of course, there's those who say,
"Life is work and not all play!"

"But I'm sitting in my chair,
With my tv over there!"

"Boomers, busting out all over?"

All over the valleys and the hills!

"But my family was too poor!"
"There was something did occur!"

"Out of school, I had to stay."
"Me? I've always had poor pay!"

"Do you think this is a zoo?"
"What am I supposed to do?"

Did I really hear just that?
Was that you? That's where you're at?

"Boomers, busting out all over?"
All over the valleys and the hills.

If you are a boomer too,
Do what e'er you want to do!

Nothing ever is too late!
Take a class, or make a date!

Find a path ! Go for a ride!
Keep your loved ones by your side!

You can do it all right now,
Ask and God will show you how.

"Boomers, busting out all over?"
All over the valleys and the hills!

You're beyond the boom and bust;
Now its time to bite the dust.

Yes, you can do something good
And you know you really should.

Just stop blaming dear old dad;
That would really make him sad.

Now it's time to do your part.
Don't you think it's time to start?

"Boomers busting out all over?"
All over the valleys and the hills.

Can you hear the anthems ring?
For the boomers, it is spring!
