Fourth of July
For every burger we consume,
Each hot dog we are chomping,
We should remember on this day
The Redcoats we were tromping.
For every icy beer we chug,
Each ear of corn we're biting,
We have to thank the colonists,
Who sacrificed by fighting.
If independence wasn't won,
We'd be on different footing,
Enjoying Shepherd's pie, perhaps,
Or maybe Yorkshire pudding.
