Bummed Out Baby Boomer
My skin is all wrinkled
my muscles are jello,
I'll tell you right now
I'm one bummed out fellow.
My joints are all achy
my eye sight is shot,
it feels like my head
is clogged full of snot.
My lungs are all blackened
from decades of smoke,
I'm not in good shape
and I look like a joke.
I used to be able
to run a fast mile,
now every ten feet
I rest for a while.
I need a new kidney
a heart that beats right,
I need a new bladder
that last's through the night.
My teeth are all gone
and my ears give me pain,
I don't have the sense
to get out of the rain.
Just some complaints
from a speck on the earth,
that life is not easy
for what that is worth.
