AMERICAN FLAG DAY–JUNE 14TH, 2015
Flag Day is today—
Have you put on your display?
In the window is cute
But a bathing suit
Let’s all the guys “HOORAY!”
–
Em bodied American pride
Is best when it is eyed…
In the breeze
Waving with ease,
Leaves some of us tongue-tied.
–
A new handkerchief of the flag
I have, not for a snot rag…
At least not today
Lest someone should say
I belong in a well-tied bag!
–
So much of this country has crocked,
But immigrants here still stop
Frantic rowing–
We’re the best thing going–
Even though our own people have mocked!
–
Put out our Grand Old Flag–
NOT in a garbage bag–
Fly it proudly
Maybe we’ll see
Our reversing fortunes un-sag.
