Mike Dailey Poet Rhyme

Fourth of July

It’s the fourth of July
And all through the land
The local high schools
Strike up their marching band
The floats are festooned
With flowers galore
Red, white, and blue bunting’s
The usual décor
And then when it’s dark
And the fireworks flare
Our thoughts wander back
To the “rocket’s red glare”
And how we as a country
Had to fight to be free
And we swell up with pride
At “Oh, say can you see”
Yes, we are proud of our country
This we can not deny
And we let the world know
On the fourth of July.

Don Johnson July 2, 2011 at 5:33 PM We don't have the fourth down here in Aus, but good it is to celebrate, After you booted the british out, we got the convicts here old mate, plus the deported Irish. Great poem mate, Don

Judy Ball July 2, 2011 at 9:34 AM Now all we have to do is get up the gumption to let our leaders know that they can't just throw it all away like so much garbage from yesterday. Good job here my friend. God Bless, JB
