Wolfman Jack did the Midnight Special Alice Cooper rocked the walls Jimi Hendrix was on stage Janis Joplin outsang 'em all Dancing and drinking and yeaaahh All night long the parties went on The whole neighborhood was there 'Til we all crept home at dawn My parents loved to party and they took me along Not anything too drastic! Hmm..never saw a bong! My father flaunted sideburns though he didn't have much hair! My mama wore her hot pants on legs that made men stare I danced up top of tables much to the neighbors delight In my tye-dye, beads and sandals A little hippie in my own right It was the Age of Aquarius We let the Sun Shine In And though I was only nine I remember way back when © caroline 2000 Yep...we did have a good old time! It's not the love you fear, but the fall from the height~Edwin McCain |

Great poem, Caroline. Was that where your career in table-top dancing got started? |

~*LOL*~ Thanks all! Guess I'm telling my age here but oh well! Balladeer--ROTFLMAO!! I thought about being a table-dancer to make a living, but it's hard to pay the rent when they throw old tomatoes as tips! It's not the love you fear, but the fall from the height~Edwin McCain |
