Charles Messina Poet Rhyme

I Was a Hippy

To tell you the truth 
In my days of youth

To put it quite mild, 
I was carefree and wild
  
A hipster by all means 
Wearing my wholly bellbottom jeans
 
Always said "Out-of-Sight" 
Sometimes, I would say "Dynamite" 
With friends, I was "Tight" 
Hey, I turned out "Alright"
