Fourth of July
F-orget not those who sacrificed that we might enjoy this special day.
O-ur cherished freedoms we owe to them who in hallowed sepulchers lay.
U-ndulating o'er this blessed nation the Grand Old Flag does yet wave.
R-esolute Founding Fathers and ordinary men so very true and brave,
T-ook extraordinary actions to liberate us from tyranny and oppression.
H-ereafter, may each generation be free to celebrate without suppression.
O-ver all the nation this day folks will celebrate with picnic and parade;
F-ireworks will thrill and boring speeches by politicians will be made.
J-ubilation should ring from towns large and small from shore to shore,
U-ntil the sound of liberty resonates about the globe with a resounding roar!
L-et true patriotism reign not only on this day but all others that ensue!
Y-eehaa! Yippee! Yahoo! Yea! Happy Fourth of July to every one of you!
