Boomers
Bottle caps were currency
Pop sticks were props
Maple seeds
Were whirly birds
Spinning down like a tops
Hopscotch drawn
On the streets
Jump ropes would twirl
Double Dutch was fun to watch
Especially for girls
Quarters pitched toward a wall
Closest takes all
We played that game
With baseball cards
Some lost DiMaggio
We grew up fast
We learned the ropes
And mostly on our own
We’re called the Baby Boomers
We’re "like a rolling stone”
