The Time of the Hippies The grooviest and most far out decade of the century, A time when hippies and flower children wanted to be free Everyone wore bell bottoms, bandanas, tie-dyed, and sandals, Had long hair or afros, burned incense, potpouri, or candles Because of women's lib, there was the burning of the bras, The hippies called cops pigs and did not like all of the laws, Grooved to Jimi Hendrix, In-a-godda-da-vida and more, Like Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Grateful Dead, Guess Who, and the Doors Said things like, "Make love, not war!, Groovy, Dig," and "Psychadelic." Hip men were called cats as the women were called chicks The woodstock festival was held in the year of '69, Hip cats and chicks grooved to music and were feeling fine
great view and portrayal. having only been born in the 80's i'm afraid i wasn't there in the 60's so i don't know how true the hippy stereotype is. yay for burning bra's thoguh! they sorta kinda suck some. great poem anyhoo
never got what some people's problems are with bras.. they're warm and comfy! Better than swinging around.. that's jst god damn painfull. and saggy. eurgh. good poem tho!
