The Fifth of July

 

Now that the Fourth’s over,

what will you do?

You’ve spent the day honoring

the Red White, and Blue.

Now you'll furl your Flags 

and put them neatly away,

packed with your patriotism

until another day

when banners fly

and old soldiers mourn,

filled with memories

that leave them forlorn.

But just as a reminder,

so folks can still tell,

you’ll take a little Flag

and pin it to your lapel.
