@+e Forum Zippy the Hippee

  Zippy was an older man Living his life the best way he can Along came Flower Power in the sixties no less It changed his personality badly I guess He dressed all flamboyant flared jeans and all With his bell bottomed trousers he had answered the call To a new life of wonderment, flowers and the like He even drove a big three wheeled motor bike With the music of the day blasting out of his radio He rode around town to put on a show In his fancy clobber and with flowers in his hair He just went through life without a care Then he met Bonnie a girl in tight jeans and a great smile A really good looker the best by a mile Fell hook line and sinker he just did not care What others thought of this ill matched hippie pair Together they celebrated free love for all Just spent life together, a never ending ball They bought an old Citreon 2cv car a funny looking thing Bright yellow it was but a lot of joy it did bring So they traveled the country whenever they could And enjoyed life together like any couple would They got involved in protest marches at Greenham Common no less What made them do it was anybody’s guess
Arrested a few times, spent a few weeks in Jail When they came out they both looked quite pale As the sixties became seventies times changed quite bit But together they roamed the country still keeping fit Their love of music kept them young at heart And they swore to each other they would never part So twenty years later with three kids in the back Of their old 2cv car with their life back on track Alcohol and drugs had never been their thing They had seen all the misery these items can bring So now still fit a healthy they ran their own farm Enjoyed living their new life of peaceful calm So it just goes to show that life can move on All of those memories remain of a previous life gone So let’s just say that how wild a life you may have lead Make the most of what’s offered because you are a long time dead.
