the 4th of july at jimmy's house

i'm disappointed that there
won't be a pie
eating contest this year

over at jimmy's house for the 4th
of july.

no watermelon seed spitting
contest either.

no rockets in the air, no
sparklers burning the children's fingers.

no yapping dogs, or dives into
the frog infested
pool.

there won't be any hot dogs on
the grill.
or burgers.

or singing, or yelling, or throwing
up.
jimmy won't be wearing his flag
colored

underwear.

oh well, maybe the next year.
