It's Our Turn Next


Get ready baby boomers
Crowding Nursing homes,
Assisted Living Centers,
Retirement Villas

Old age is 
Not pretty
Naked dimpled white flesh
Wrinkled
Like a piece of driftwood
On the beach.
Exposed 
Like a large infant.

People saying I'm cute
Helping me into the store,
Suggesting a walker,
Referring me to nursing homes.

As I approach my latter days,
I remind young people
Muffling your giggles,
You're turn will come.
