Children of the Sixties?


 They took to the streets,
Bouncing off walls
Like crazed hippy revolutionaries
Rushing to the Haight.

It started with only a few,
But then the word spread.
The few became many,
And the many a demonstration.

While the city looked on,
Their numbers multiplied.
They filled the streets,
Dancing with psychedelic joy.

  4. AN: But, you know, most of 'em were harmless. A pet rock never bit anybody, did it?

    Brian: Alright, "youngster," I'm sensing a note of sarcasm here...

    Dustus: You got that right! And on that note, ohmmmmmmm.

  5. The balls in the video remind me of the little candy dots that came in sheets we used to get as kids. So colorful. Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting on my post. As for me, I wouldn't want my personal items to go on the auction block, either.
