Hippies never die, they just get old...

Well the picture is at least humorous...;-)


Poem Artwork

Like the rest of us all,

In life we had a ball,

We invented the mall,

Of death we do now forestall…

 

Tie-die we still enjoy,

Loved it since being a boy,

In the life we love & have loved,

We express to all just so much joy…

 

So, get old with me,

It’s certainly most free,

We remain like we were, artsy,

The future looks good, that we can forsee…

Saw an old, white-haired guy living it up in front of the bandstand at Pleasanton in 1968. Wonder where he is now? Timothy Leary's dead, but he was quite lucid when I saw him in 1980 in Toronto.

So the Sooth says,

Ron

Artsy? Don't you mean Fartsy? And Ma says you should trim your beard and put on some pants.

I'm getting old, but you'll never catch me looking like that, even back in the sixties I never let my hair grow long. Never. No beard.
