party on the 4th

can you bring
your potato salad
to the pool party,
betty asks you
on the phone.
sure, you say.
why not.
what are you bringing.
I'm bringing
beer, she says.
i'll stop by the 7-11
on the way over
and pick up
a couple of six
packs, and some
aloe and
neosporin
for the burns.
I was in north Carolina
the other
day and picked
up some illegal
cherry bombs and
rockets.
should be fun.
I'm setting one off
now just so you can
hear how loud
they are.
