Notes About The Poem

Prob not a winning vision

tail-end baby boom ain't same

cushiness likely to crash

before there's 'nuff cash



us born between sixty and seven

are social security

burdens on generations

beyond and unlearned



n'er the less we plant veggies

remembering those wedgies

of innocence unsung youth

hope springs eternal.

Prediction

Prob not a winning vision
tail-end baby boom ain't same
cushiness likely to crash
before there's 'nuff cash

us born 'tween six and seven
are social security
burdens on generations
beyond and unlearned

n'er the less we plant veggies
remembering those wedgies
of innocence unsung youth
hope springs eternal.
