The Month of July Is A Firecracker Month

On the 1st of July, we observe National

Postal Worker Day; and on the 4th of

July, we celebrate Independence Day,

Which began in the year 1776, the day

We separated from British rule and

Created our own new nation.

Throughout our 50 states, many

Families gather to celebrate this day

By enjoying outdoor picnics.

Grills are hot–hamburgers, chicken

And hot dogs are sizzling, just

Waiting to be eaten.

Children run and play, dad and the

Boys have a game of baseball, and

The girls play a game of volley ball.

Grandparents sit in the shade and

Talk about the good old days.

After eating a delicious meal, almost

Everyone just relaxes; no one wants

To eat another morsel of food!

When the evening drops its curtain,

Families go to  nearby parks to watch

The fireworks–colorful explosions in

The darkened sky; after the sky has

Dimmed and everybody has climbed

Into their van or four-door car--homeward

Bound--children fall fast asleep in the

Backseat, only to be carried upstairs to

Their tiny beds; then they get a kiss, a

Good-night and pleasant dreams,

Parents then tiptoeing back down the

Stairs!

On July 27th, the Korean war ended.

We fly our flag to honor those

Veterans.

July, as you can see,  is a Red, White

And Blue firecracker month!

             HAVE FUN!
