Anticipating something like this, I've been participating in a preemptive boycott for over 31 years.

Henry Gibson.

Goodnight, funnyman.

Flowers
(Flowers have always been the motivating force of my life)

They are not all flower children,
All those that use the name.
A lot are just imposters,
Playin' at the game.

Beware (beware),
Beware (beware)
Of artificial flowers,
They may be nice to look at,
But they're dead and can not grow.
Beware (beware),
Beware (beware)
Of artificial flowers.
They're plastic up on top,
And they're wire down below.

The real flower children
Are filled with love.
Phonies, they just scoff at love -
Their hearts are made of wood.

Beware (beware),
Beware (beware)
Of artificial flowers,
They may be nice to look at,
But they're dead and can not grow.
Beware (beware),
Beware (beware)
Of artificial flowers.
They're plastic up on top,
And they're wire down below.

True blue flower children
Do not act strange or queer.
They know the world has got to change,
And it must start right here.

Beware (beware),
Beware (beware)
Of artificial flowers,
They may be nice to look at,
But they're dead and can not grow.
Beware (beware),
Beware (beware)
Of artificial flowers.
They're plastic up on top,
And they're wire down below.

That is a great "A Poem by Henry Gibson."

Really one of a kind, that Henry.

Those are my favorite boycotts. And they provide a great excuse "I'm sorry, I'd join you in my boycott but I already have an essentially infinite number of them going and just don't have time for one more."

I thought I didn't know who Henry Gibson was but I was wrong.

Thankfully, there are people out there to help those who are suffering from the condition that Henry Gibson finds himself with.

My mom is a big fan of PP&M, they were definitely a large part of my childhood soundtrack. They were nothing but happiness and friendliness.
