"Tommy" is a narrative poem by Stephen King, first published in the March, 2010 edition of Playboy,[1] and later collected and re-introduced in the November 3, 2015 anthology The Bazaar of Bad Dreams.

[2] In the new introduction King disputes the famous adage (attributed to many celebrities, including Grace Slick, Robin Williams, Paul Kantner, Joan Collins, and Dennis Hopper): "If you remember the Sixties, you weren't there."

The poem is free verse and steeped in the slang and cultural references of the 1960s, a decade which encompassed all of King's teenage years.

It describes the unique burial of the titular young man, a hippie who died of leukaemia, and the subsequent lives of his closest friends.
