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.
