Wishing you all a wonderful Fourth of July, filled with fun, your favorite summer foods, and fireworks! :) To celebrate America's birthday, here are two short poems I found.

The first is from the great Shel Silverstein:
The Fourth
Oh
CRASH!
CRASH!
my
BASH
it's
BANG!
BANG!
the
ZANG!
Fourth
WHOOSH!
of
BAROOM!
July
WHEW!
by Shel Silverstein,
from Where the Sidewalk Ends, 1974
And the second comes from a book I remember ordering at school, through Scholastic Books, when I was about seven:
 |
| From A Rocket in My Pocket, compiled by Carl Withers, illustrated by William Wiesner, 1974 |
I've got a rocket
In my pocket,
I cannot stop to play.
Away it goes!
I've burnt my toes.
It's Independence Day.
Happy Fourth, one and all! :)
