he tells me on the phone.
cherry
or blueberry. one from the berry family.
vanilla ice cream too.
what else, I ask him.
some fireworks.
whatever you like. sparklers,
roman candles.
rockets.
we have fire crackers
and cherry bombs,
so don't bring those.
oh, and maybe a watermelon,
with seeds,
we might have a seed
spitting contest
later.
we have about a hundred or so
hot dogs,
beef franks.
and mustard, so that's covered.
one more thing.
a keg of beer.
better make it two kegs.
you know how people like
to drink. so that's it,
see you at one.
i'm filling the pool up now.
