Baby Boomer Grandpa
by Salvador G. Valdez

Was it yesterday when we overtaken by a photo avalanche?
"Yes Dear, she was our first born", my love answered as we sat quietly on the
bench.
Should we be emptying our walls for the next photo storm?
With our babies making babies might as well get in form.
Had we had to do it over again, would we?
Being grandparents we will do it anyway, as it should be.
What about those senior escapades we planned?
Dont worry Dear, our babies babies will keep us busy, give up those silly
notions that our bodies have already banned.
Arent we still full of vigor; were the baby boomers.
Dont believe all that media hype our generation was just big in numbers
going after Bloomers.
My body still hungers for your love and Im not ready to fast.
Save your zest, you will need it when youre grandbabies put you to the
test.
Come on Love, can we have a little baby booming?
I suppose so Dear, or else youll be fuming.
Daughter, can you bring all your babies for dinner?
Alright Mama, well make it Papas night, well make him feel like a
winner.
Mama, look at Papa go, he is spending so much energy.
Daughter, to have your babies play with him was my smooth strategy.
Mama, Papa is soundly snoring, I will not longer linger.
Thanks, for making Papas baby booming night, Im sure tonight he wont even
lift a little finger.
