Grand Funk blasting
Rock defined
Sold out venues
Liberal minds
 
Black light posters
Viet Nam
Charley don’t surf
In Birmingham
 
Cheap cologne
Burning blunts
Wild eyed boys
On the hunt
 
For painted ladies
Curly hair
Legs for days
No underwear
 
Pun intended
Food for thought
Narcotic fog
Just don’t get caught
 
Trophy wife
Three car garage
Grand Pooba
At the Masons Lodge
 
Yapping lap dog
Shooting stars
Whiskey head games
Tapas Bars
 
Crafted headlines
Leveraged homes
Sarcastic landmines
Roaming Gnomes
 
New Age shakedown

Lackey Blues
 
Hip Yuppie
Swatting flies
Acid reflux
Alibis
 
Babylon
Bares her breast
Hyperbole
On house arrest
 
Faster
Higher
Grab the ring
Envy
An infectious thing

Kate is right, EXCELLENT...I was at the original Woodstock, remember little, but some memory is still there, though I wonder now how I could have put up with that mess...great to be young, but older ain't as bad as i used to think...(don't trust anybody over 60, LOL) Peace, ed

EXCELLENT, Bill! A ballad about the process Boom and Bust (in age terms!) that has an energy all of its own and is witty and unique in terms of the details you have chosen to include. It's very comprehensive, too. It really speaks to me at the moment, heady on revisiting and re-doing to some extent my teenage and early adult years... Naughty thoughts like the need to at least SMELL some weed when I attend a Neil Young Yasgers Farm/Woodstock-type concert later on this summer, here on a Hop Farm in Kent!!! And your poem crosses over the Pond in cultural terms delightfully. Infectious indeed! I love it! :)) TY Kate xx
