FADS THAT DIE - TAKE 5
Romantic lollipops were being stolen from the fad store.
Stolen of course.
The rest of the money was spent on last weeks fad: buttons,
with a lollipop in my hand, I was sitting in the station house. Time: 1:43 AM.
A policeman walked in and asked for identification. I didn’t have any.
So I was brought down to the station house and searched.
I had a broken fan and they tried to split open the batteries to see if I
had any grass in it. I didn’t-so they made the deal with me. I tell and
they let me go.
I refused but luckily another cop knew me and took me home.
It isn’t over the fuckin’ liars,
Wendy came into “Grass Avenue Park” filled with fads from previous months.
She wouldn’t give up. She went to buy a lollipop.
The cops said the pops had LSD in them.
Even accused me of going to a non-listed freak-sex camp after looking
at a picture of Barbara. Nude.
They tried everything. I never thought the pops could work either way.
The glasses fad is over but Wendy still has them.
We don’t need to buy any fads. Wendy has enough for all of us.
She’s a teenybopper.
Liz is very conservative and I thank her for talking to me that cold evening.
Next week the fad store will have still something else and you could be
sure that only Wendy will get it. She needs everything she can get.
