A Sunny 4th of July

Sadly, I have been forsaken; Every shady bench is taken. Sunny spots are up for grabs. I sit down while keeping tabs On nearby seats which are in shade, With odds against me, I’m afraid. Still, there is a little breeze Provided by surrounding trees. Boats upon the river glide; I am glad to be outside. Fireworks tonight I’ll see Indoors, on screen, with cool a/c.

Indoors on TV is how I prefer to watch fireworks displays these days, too, Ilene. I enjoyed last night's "A Capitol Fourth" on PBS.

YEAH! I was happy in my a/c most of the day, until I needed to go to a cookout about 4 pm. It was insufferably hot! No hot dog is worth this! (Actually, we had shish-ka-bobs)

What a nice rhyme Ilene Bauer, isn't it so true! I too am staying inside. Happy 4th!
