Happy Fourth of July

Happy Fourth of July,
look up into the night sky
watch the sparkling fireworks display
the red, white, and blue
lighting up the night
and  paling the distant stars.

Happy Fourth of July,
listen to a patriotic tune
such as John Philip Sousa's
The Stars and Strips Forever
while enjoying a picnic lunch with
hotlink sausage,
jalapeno hotdog,
grilled hamburger with horseradish,
grilled chicken with hot and spicy barbecue sauce,
and a cold watermelon.
