Beat Generation Hang-over bongos cracked the silenced walls of the 50s-- hemorrhaged heritage heretics stood-up and in rebellious orations: lifted the toilet-seated Johns' and Janes' interest in freedom of speech. Hear ye, hear ye cool daddys, lend us an ear. Jello is the only stable podium on which we could hope to lean on, and though we speak loosely we don't use ex-lax -ed values; just being flushed away like so much pot-ty. granted, we brush daily with ipana. grease back with brylcream. we hang murderers and prosecute perverts just like you good ol' boys. but you know we're different. *** *** ©2004 Grover Gall [This message has been edited by Grover (04-01-2004 04:39 PM).] |

great write, oft I think of those days and the irony of how so things were changed...must admit, in my younger years, I was indeed a part of it...although I really didn't like hard rock much...smiles and hugs, good one. |
