Tie-Dye In July

Dampen a white T-Shirt till wet.
Twist into a pinwheel, then get
The shape to stay round
And pat until sound.
Bind the edge with tape till it's set.

Split the circle space into three-
Red, white, and blue for all to see!
Dye one-third dark blue;
Bright red, one-third too.
The rest stays pure white to agree.

Unfolding it shows the design!
You're ready to celebrate, fine!
July Fourth is live!
Receive a high-five
As your shirt and honor combine!
