Langerado was a gas.
Music festivals should
be held in the Everglades
deep in Seminole Country.
Of course, like most festivals
it featured a single road entry
and massive congestion.
People were getting out of cars
and walking alongside the road.
There was a swampy stream
running along side the road.
We were hearing snorting
and oinking sounds
emanating from the stream.
Some hippies pondered
if there were pigs down there.
“Go down and check it out”
I felt like saying;
Visions of gators chomping hippies
dancing in my head.
I felt sorry for the gators.
This is the gator’s home
& now some crispy hippies
are peeing in the bushes.
The poor gator is probably
getting home from a hard day’s work
and just wants to crack open a beer
and read the newspaper
but finds a hippie infestation.
I didn’t get to see
any gators making hippie stew
so I patiently bided my time
waiting to get in to the festival.
The line of cars
was barely moving at all
but I had plenty of beer.
"hippie infestation"
And the festival was named "Gator Aid"?
I like Gator Aid but
I like Gator Aid but unfortunately the festival was called Langerado.
Langerado
What does it mean?
don't actually know. I
don't actually know. I suspect it may be a word related to the Seminole Indians since the festival was held in the everglades in Seminole territory.
