Horseshoes and Matches

-you should fear the fourth of November because your old butt is sitting on a powder keg after a summer of disease and restriction after a summer boiling over with George the young are holding the matches and day upon day upon day the media spits gasoline in their pimply black veiled faces. The "black veils" have no immunity to losing because they've been given trophies for bringing up the rear.. they've been raised by the over-tolerant villagers not the parents never spanked now they've broken rank with civility carrying left-handed shanks encouraged by professor anarchy You should fear the fourth because your old butt is sitting on a powder keg and if the orange one wins the brats will be pitching matches and gasoline like we used to pitch horseshoes and pennies.
