Celebrating My Favorite Summer Events

Fourth’s here
all cheer

big crowd
so loud

hot cooks
grilling

others 
chilling

time to 
say grace

feast is
in place

drinking 
eating

neighbors 
greeting

children 
running

teen girls 
sunning

many
schmoozing

old guys
snoozing

waning 
daylight

flag flies
grand sight

more than 
token!

pledge is
spoken

God bless
U. S.

last perks
fireworks
