Golden years are supposed to be
Happy and carefree
But you see
Many people who have reached that age
Are not carefree
But are enraged
Enraged by the cost of all that they see
They often can’t afford
Just a small shopping spree
No they count their pennies
They scrimp and save
And try to exist
With the little they have
And you know what is scary
You know it will be
Yes so much worse
Much worse than we see
Our older population
Is just growing so big
Real soon with inflation
Their nesteggs won’t be
I don’t know what’s the answer
But it better come quick
Before our dear government
Gives us more of the stick
So people who are boomers
Yes they better watch out
Or no one will be listening
When they start to shout
