Hippie Commune

I might be a few years too late As this has been decades in the making But I'm going through with a commune To give a few hippies something to do So I wrote an ad, put it on a list They say this guy Craig is the best Now my yard is filled with hippies by the score Or would the proper way be to say hippies galore I hurried them all into the house It wouldn't do for the neighbors to find this out I set up booths in different rooms I handed out name tags and colorful kazoo's Don't let it be said I run a shabby commune You gotta keep the hippies happy in all you do That's why I have a calendar of special events From karaoke kazoo to rug making with hemp On Tuesday's we basket weave, Wednesday's we kite But never in the day as hippies burn in the light (Or is that Vampires...scratch that, that may not be right) I even hired a Jerry Garcia look a like To call out the numbers on Bingo night All this hard work hasn't gone for not Communes and Jefferson Airplane tunes last week called me up They'd like to feature me in their magazine A full page article on living the dream Where I can help others to have their very on Commune to invite a few hippies along So go out if you can to a magazine stand Read how it's done then buy you some land We'll have hippie commune's from one end to the other No color nor creed just sisters and brothers

Personally I'm not into the hippie commune thing but wouldn't mind living on a farm or ranch for awhile (kind of like that Pioneer Woman on television, lol!) :)

I have an old friend, who still sports the long tho thinning hair and the colorful grateful dead shirts. I think I was doing something else in those days, never participated in the free love craze. Thanks for the look back on what we believed were happier times.

That used to be my goal in life, to be a hippie:) That was many many years ago. Tie dyed shirts, long hair and lots of herbal refreshment. Drove my old man nuts. Very funny read, Mike. Always love your humor.
