Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Pomp and Pageantry

I remember the grand parades
  Memorial and Independence Day
All their pomp and pageantry
  Many faded jeans ago, so far away

Our boys in uniform we'd be saluting
  For the good ole USA we'd be rooting
Now it's political rancor at barbeques
  ~ From either end we're tooting

Lindsay Laurie May 29, 2020 at 8:10 PM Hello Gershon … sadly so many wonderful traditions are disappearing and mostly because of the modern God being worshipped - the mighty dollar - thank you Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf May 30, 2020 at 11:02 PM That's the 'Almighty Dollar,' I believe -- at least here in the USA. Cheers, Gershon
