Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Alongside the Cheers

  
	Recalling the bicentennial of 1976
           celebrations galore, folks yearning for more
 
         Not as many festivities in 2026
            those that were, considerably muted

          Alongside the cheers, a chorus of boos
             What say you? ~ Did you notice too?
