The Swimming Hippie

What a sight, out in the water
A hippie and his youngest son 
Far away from city havoc
Just swimming and splashing for fun!

Quite suddenly the tide rolled out,
And took them, it seemed so unfair
Fortunately a life guard saw,
And jumped in to rescue the pair!

He managed to save the young boy
And thus became his biggest fan
But he couldn't save the hippie
Because he was, "Too far out man!"
