Summer Day at Barton Springs, Austin, Texas

a little lyrical, but of good memories

 

Down a couple miles

(Two to be exact)

We found hippies and slackers

Who picked up the slack

Picked up those dirty feet

And went down the trail

to the falls at the back

Sculpture’s up the trail

 

Twin was too crowded

but the crowd was just right

at the falls called Sculpture

that day before that night

we kept good friends and

strangers alike and smoked

joints and drank beers

on a warm rocked creek

in the cool running stream

‘til the dawn of the night

 

Then the shadows came down

by the creek bed and cooled

the rocks where we lay

and children were at play.
