Fireworks On Tv

Saw the fireworks on TV Exploding o'er the city; The river and the bridges Made the scene look extra-pretty. Yet it was not at all the same As watching it outside, When every boom that thunders Makes the crowd electrified. The television played some songs With patriotic flair, Renditions so pathetic It was hard for us to bear. I guess I can't complain too much - At least I saw the show, But seeing it in person Is the better way to go.
