I'm cool, dude
I'm hip to all the jive
I mean I'm drivin' it like I stole it
It's keeping me alive, man
Too cool for school
I have a slogan don't ya know
Stay with the trends, mo'fo
Thass whot I'm talking 'bout
Yeah
Uh huh . . .
Gettin' me some cornrows tomorrow

Far out dude! It's outta sight! I'm hip! Can you dig it!

(Did I say all that?)

Loving Linny Jean is poetry.

This is pure gold "mo'fo"! Brings back fond memories of $10 tickets and screaming girlfriends!

Your writing made my morning joe so much richer Mr. Jerry!

Not a stogie JerryPat, but one of those "insect clips"!   I really like your poems and this was a fun read!

I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather...not like the passengers screaming in the back of his car.

Your title made me smile. Have to blow the dust off that term, and "cool" has grown old and moldy too. I can't keep up with the latest jargon and I work at a high school! But I think today one wants to be "sick". But for all I know, that one is outdated too. Loved your last line-I about blew coffee out of my nose. ~L

Heh.Heh You are something else, Lori. I'm sure not all that hip, just playing word games here. Thank you.
