Old Hippies Never Die, They Just End up Six foot Under…(for Nicole’s Challenge)


 


Here lies an old hippie,


 


Never has he been west of the Mississippi,


 


Died of the cold, in NJ it got quite a bit nippy,


 


He did like the taste of peanut butter yes Skippy,


 


Here he lies in a plastic bag, yes a zippy…

Wow! You get a zippy; my wife will probably just dump me in the trash can with the used kitty litter. You are a lucky man.

But before Zip Lock day comes, you have to travel west of the Mississippi, my friend. It's where the heart and soul of America lies. Once I leave Illinois, I never plan on going anywhere east of the Mississippi - again. (Hopefully, the trash can she dumps me in will be in a nice natural place - west of the Mississipi.)

hmm...Does that mean you are older than dirt? That could be why you were buried in a zippy.
