We didn't start the fire

Thanks to Colleen for this

Boomers are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. I know, we take responsibility for all we have done and do not try to blame others. HOWEVER,   upon reflection, I would like to point out that it was NOT the Boomers who took:

The melody out of music,

The pride out of appearance,

The courtesy out of driving,

The romance out of love,

The commitment out of marriage,

The responsibility out of parenthood,

The togetherness out of the family,

The learning out of education

The Golden Rule from rulers,

The nativity scene out of cities,

The civility out of behaviour,

The refinement out of language,

The dedication out of employment,

The prudence out of spending,

The ambition out of achievement

And we certainly are  NOT the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from personal relationships and interactions with Others!

And, we DO understand the meaning of sacrifice and remember those who have fought and died for our country.

YES, I'M A SONIC BOOMER!  

I'm the life of the party...

Even if it lasts until 8 p.m.

I'm very good at opening childproof caps.....

With a hammer.

I'm awake many hours before

My body allows me to get up.

I'm smiling all the time,

Because I can't hear a thing you're saying.

I'm sure everything I can't find is

In a safe secure place, somewhere.

I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy,

And that's just my left leg.

I'm beginning to realize that ageing is not for wimps.

Yes, I'm a SONIC BOOMER and I think I am having the time of my life! Now if I could only remember who sent this to me, I would send it back to them.

Or, maybe I should send it to all my friends anyway.

They won't remember, even if they did send it.

Spread the laughter Share the cheer

Remember we didn't start the fire

But we'll be happy  

While we're here.
