Bummer of Love



The sixties seemed cool at the time
Both peace and free love were sublime
But drug-addled passions
wreaked horrible fashions
How else to explain all the mime?

Mime spectators at a mimed tennis-match, from Blow-Up (Michelangelo Antonioni, 1966).

  1. A mime can be called Geek or Nerd
    and other names best left unheard
    But, with them a secret,
    you know it will be kept
    because, to mimes, mum is the word

  2. It seems like an era so olden
    to tastes of the boomers beholden
    One very bad trip
    when miming was hip
    They must have thought silence was golden
