Remember when........

[Boet]

Remember when "hippy" meant: Big in the hips,
And a "Trip" involved traveling, in cars, planes or ships?
When "pot" was a vessel for cooking things in,
And "hooked" was what Grandmother rug might have been.

When "fix" was a verb that meant mend or repair,
And "be-in" meant merely existing somewhere,
When "ring-a -ding" was the sound of a bell,
And "queer"was when you did not feel well?

When "neat" was well organized, tidy and clean,
And "grass" was a ground cover, normally green?
When lights, and NOT people were switched on and off,
And "the Pill" was what you took for a cough?

When "camp" meant to quarter outdoors in a tent,
And "pop" was what the weasel went?
When "groovy" meant furrowed with channels and hollows,
And "birds" were winged creatures like Robins and Swallows?

When "fuzz" was a substance really fluffy like lint,
And "bread" came from the bakery- not from the mint,
When "square" meant a 90-degree angular form,
And "cool" was a temperature, not quite warm?

When "roll" meant a bun, and "rock" was a stone,
And "hang-up" was what you did with a phone?
When "chicken" meant poultry and "bag" meant a sack,
And "junk", thrashy cast-offs and old bric-a-brack?

When "jam" was preserves you spread on your bread,
And "crazy" meant barmy, not right in the head?
When "cat" was a feline - a kitten grown up,
And tea was a liquid you drank from a cup.

When "swinger" was someone who swung in a swing,
And "pad" was a soft cushiony thing,
When "way-out" meant distant, and far-far away,
And a man could sue you for calling him "gay"?

When "tough" described meat too unyielding to shew,
And "making a scene" was a rude thing to do.
Words once so sensible sober and serious,
are making the freak scene like psychodelirious.
It`s groovy,man, groovy, but English it`s NOT.
Methinks that the language is going to pot. :D
