Summary
OK Boomer. It's been going on for years. Resentment amongst successive younger generations that us old geezers born after World War 2 have not only had the best of everything, but are determined to hang on to it until we reluctantly go to our graves. Well, despite the proliferation of OK Boomer, the disdainful phrase designed to undermine us, here's the news. We will. That's the approach of OK Boomer, the lead poem by author and journalist Graeme Johnstone in a book examining the current state of the world. Helicopter parents, buying a new leaf blower, trying to be a septuagenarian influencer, these and many other foibles of life are examined with a humorous and sometimes cynical eye in, a series of works originally broadcast on radio in Melbourne, Australia. It's OK Boomers, it's your turn to shine.
