While delivering your thoughts in a half hilarious tone, I see the anxiety and agitation of a thinking mind belonging to a generation in many ways different from the present one about a fast changing world where the order of happenings and situations are topsy - turvy! In many areas, men are pulled to the back seat and girls at the counter instead of attending to the needs of the aged and invalid are eager to please young dandies! I see it as a satire!
Thank you, Poet Valsa, for caring to read and comment on my old poem, 'Born 90, Countdown'. You are right to note the satirical slant; but I have grown to avoid judgements about the younger generations. As you say, their circumstances are different, and they are not to be considered as a collective group. Some are surprisingly 'modern', 'brainy', 'inventive'; while others are mediocre in quality, as those of my vintage were! Write on, regardless, is my self-advice.
