How To Properly Fly a Flag
It must be great to have a solid flag pole
But if the flag does not move what good is the pole?
You might try a few different flags but again they
need to fly and not hang limply on the pole
The flag pole owner need to be able to get the flags
to fly properly or the pole is useless
Of course there are as many types of flags as there are poles
it can be hard to figure out if they will fit properly on the pole
Some are light with no weight, they look pretty and flutter wonderfully for a while
but they rip and wear out
Then there are flags that have been folded securely in their packages
they can be a sight to behold when they are unfurled at the top of the pole
When the right flag is hoisted it usually means no other flag is needed
The pole owner can look at the flag on his pole with pride
what a flag this is flying on his pole and it is really moving well
of course all this means is that it is a sturdy flag pole and
it can't be bent in the wind
Sometimes strong winds do come blowing the flags away
sadly leaving the pole empty
It is a shame to see an empty pole with the flag gone
or a new flag not fully hoisted to the top
half mast does not cut it
People really need to take proper care of their sturdy pole so
that it is not made useless and bent out of shape
it would be a shame not to be able to fly a flag
of course some people do not know how to fly a flag properly
it gets all tangled in the ropes, what a waste of a pole
people do need to take proper care so their pole is always useful
If it is not proud and erect the flag looks tired
we need to be proud of our flags and poles
Our flag needs to be proud of being hoisted on the pole
Poem was written after hearing some bragging. I could not resist
providing my perspective on the subject. He was not amused.
