Short Boomer Poems

There's a rumor
  that this boomer
    employs humor...

  He'd much rather
    be a consumer...

A sheila at a billabong
Was smitten by a boomer dong
"She had a son
Who could not run"

Bless your heart you are not God,
No, I'm not,  Gen Alpha grins,
But I am young still!...

Boomer rang my doorbell
    his blue jeans had expired

  Required late-night charging   
    he knocked back whiskeys for a while...

A lady once hailed from Altoona.
A man on a freight train had mooned her.
      She speeded away
      With just this to say,
"Cold air from a crack is a boomer!"...

Above her pretty head, swirled this dread rumor
  She'd absolutely no sense of humor ~
    Why? No one understood
    She found jokes dull as wood ~
  Seems her dad was this corny old boomer...

I am a
white
male
suburban-raised
ivy-league-educated
coddled
spoiled
baby boomer
who 
wasn't tough
enough
to make it
in the
business
world

You 
now
know me
inside
and out......

a wry sense of humor
belting laughter erupts my fancy you tickle
ace lampooner

mirth flows free
rare as a buffalo nickel
pure glee

hurray
comic boomer
ha's!

a wry sense of humor
rare as a buffalo nickel
ha's!...

SOONER NATION
The Oklahoma Sooners are my favorite team.
  Their school colors are crimson and cream.

  They can run a ball and score real high.
    Make the other team fumble and cry.

             Yeah Boomer Sooners.

Yes, I'm the last baby boomer
too young for Woodstock, Kennedy
too old now to pretend
But I am the People
I'm this generation
freedom has been my friend
Call me niave, I still believe
we are all our beautiful color
our sister, father, brother
We are all Eve...

Deb(don't call her Debra) Wilson 
        R.I.P.


Here lies Deb who was a late bloomer
Good thing she had a sense of humor
Cos' she's turned into dust
So it's Heaven or bust!
For this fun-loving baby boomer

At work a (millennial) was snorting 
about his weekend trip to a casino
how he was sick of wearing a mask
how he didn't care if he died or not.
I asked him what if he were to tote  
the bat flu home to his loved ones
he gave me the F.U. (boomer) stare
walking away in smart phone glare....

A baby boomer, late bloomer, at times a doom and gloom er.
Eats blueberries, says Hail Mary's, believes in leprechauns and fairies.
Works on commission, has good nutrition, too impatient to ever go fishing.
Sings in C, off key but always very happily.
Never a stoic, brave and heroic. Lately feeling mesozoic....

However, there is some hope for the future.
The bleakest dreams will become clearer. 
Restore their vitality by breathing in booster
Resurrect them from the hidden casket locker.
Pushing boundaries is never too late, boomer.
Surely the pendulum will swing in your favor.

Chaos is a constant 
Everything is so cluttered 
"I'm an old man and tired",
I quietly muttered
Insanity is only a stones throw away
In two weeks I fear it will be Christmas day
I count my change for a strong stout ale 
I wonder at which point my dreadful life failed
I watch mindless videos on my umbilical phone
I'm never here but always at home
Just a boomer with nothing and nothing to gain
Tomorrow I fear will be just the same...

Welcome Boomer No 3
Your arrival has lifted the gloom
Timely 
Serendipitously 
Like only a dog can
You little ball of cotton fluff
Enough
To wake for
Making day's shorter
Glee you bring
The morning after
Coming home i wish comes sooner
Boomer No 3
Meet me at my door
With panting breath and wagging tail
Where pictures fail
You welcome me my whiles away
Even on my worst day
With only the Love a dog can part
Our family has already taken you to heart...

In fall, Boomer Halloweens produce orange and black memories;
     will I ever outgrow treat-laden bags and glowing pumpkins? 
Van Gogh's flaming handiwork draws crowds in the Blue Ridge;
     he paints the trees, but God does the skies.
The slanting sunlight creeps up my back, 
     its lengthening rays whispering “snow.”
Manic animals off their meds gather food.
     Stashes forgotten, they must follow winter's diet.
Sleep comes early to me now.
In fall....

Those rulers which be amid their unison as glee, wished
A little more of thee so I thought that we, would give it to them ?
A bit in the writ with a slit for the kit and a number one hit; and they cried aloud
Another of these their, encores; while love upon the shore strung her light's down 
Low as I with the mic aside a midnight tide reached for the sky above this their, power...
Ballad chord baby boomer slang in a round about thang thus we sang, another kongo bang....

Innocent product of the 50's, baby-boomer
Soviet Union, nuclear bombs, duck and cover
Peace, love, rock and roll, they killed Kennedy
Vietnam many gone but not forgotten
Met a girl, love, marriage, children
Work, career, struggled, built a home
Said goodbye to Mom and Dad
Raised kids, in love with grandbabies
Enjoying the fruits of my labor
Eagerly searching for the next chapter in my life
