Fourth of July Child



Fourth of July Child
 
Patriotic you be,
Patriotic you are:
When you’re born on the Fourth,
You’re bound to go far!
 
You arrived with a screech
Like a low-flying tracer;
You’ve got brilliance and ‘flare’
Like a fast-flying racer.
 
We hope that your birthday
Goes off with a bang,
With nary a reason
For pingle or pang.
 
So listen, dear Linda--
We want you to know--
There’s no friend like you--
And we love you so!


For one of my best friends, Linda,
on her birthday
