Is the Baby Boomer Generation Past It? - Has life passed us by? Well, I don’t know. But I am wondering…
We used to take acid; now it’s antacid.
We listened to The Doors; now we may not hear a knock on the door.
We joined the ACLU; now it’s the AARP.
Instead of a Love-In, it’s a Drive-Thru.
No more growing pot; just developing a pot.
Gone from Woodstock to chicken stock.
Never mind third parties; it’s often about third opinions.
No more folk rock; sometimes, maybe, folk dancing.
Not listening to the Beatles; just spraying for beetles.
Burning bras? Can’t even figure out how to burn a CD. Whatever that is.
Used to say “Outasight!” Now we practically are.
We don’t wear moo moos; just drink skimmed milk.
Not dressed in tie-dye--but some of our friends have died.
Yep. Every now and then, I realize that some time must have passed.

Ah, but think of all the fun we had Andrew. The current generation can only look on with envy.
Jack, you are right. I thank you for reading and replying here!
Very witty as always. If only every generation left such an imprint on society!
Cassandra, thank you so much for reading and replying. Yes, we did our best.
