4th of JULY CELEBRATIONS

Citizens' are celebrating Independence Day,
Here and there all across the USA.

Village and town Parks host festivities galore,
Americans will be partying till they can't party no more.

Our forefathers left us with a precious land,
Liberty and justice is ever so grand!

Carnivals, parades and family picnics they'll be,
With service clubs financially backing some of these.

Lawn chairs will line parade routes, end-to-end,
Spectators patiently waiting for parades to begin.

Firemen, police, and soldiers gather in groups,
To march with EMTS, equipment, and military troops.

"Shriners" in go-carts come weaving in-n-out,
Fraternal masons know partying, of that there's no doubt.

Then horses and buggies come jogging through town,
Metal shoes clicking pavement in a rhythmic sound.

The Lions Club and the Loyal Order of Moose,
In high-stepping form are bringing-up the caboose.

As the parades pass-by, they're over and done,
Crowds move to the parks, till the setting sun.

Fireworks are exploding, coloring the sky,
Folks 'll ooh and aah, then say good-bye.
