She Has No Idea I Am a Liberal Hippie

She gives me her ideas, none of them mine.
I nod my head, but my soul is dancing in time.
The hippie wagon is coming for me today.
With a smile and a wave I yell hip hip hooray!

She is a member of a political party I abhor.
But this does not keep her away from my door.
She hates liberals, she tells me, and I keep quiet.
She sees the hippie wagon; I think it’s a riot!

But why would you go with those people? She asks, a bit dippy.
She has no idea but others know I am totally a hundred percent hippie.
I give her the peace sign as they carry me away.
Seeing her astonished face has kind of made my day!

I love it! Yippee! I try to stay away from people who want to put me in their class, or category, when I know in my heart who and what I am...and I certainly ain't one of them!!!
