CONDUCTOR'S LAMENT: "IF ONLY EVERYONE WERE LIKE THE TRUMPETS"

July second is finally at hand,
Time to rehearse the July forth marching band,
While the drums bang away,
Tubas ompah all day,
The trumpets fanfare on command.

DON'T PLAY WITH FIREWORKS AND SPARKLERS

Authorities won't let me have fireworks, because last year I burned down a house,

This year I can only have sparklers, when supervised by the spouse,

But the sparklers burned my fingers,

The smell of burnt flesh, still lingers,

Playing with fires is so dangerous, I should have had a tanker of water for a douse.

SUMMER HOLIDAY WEATHER FICTION PREDICTION

I spent lot's of money for a cookout outside,
I chose the Forth for showing national pride,
I relied on the weather prediction,
But it turned out to be fiction,
We were cramped in my '24 double-wide.

MY FORTH OF JULY FIREWORKS

My fireworks went-off on the forth of July,

But, it was inside the car and made my mom cry,

No one was hurt,

But, mom was real curt,

And, lectured until us kids heaved a sigh.
