the birth of a nation

sad

and alone on the fourth

of July

in my flag

t-shirt and Uncle

Sam

hat, it's

just me

and my dog, George W. .

i put some

hot dogs on the grill

and a few

corn on the cobs.

i throw a burger on there

as well.

i've made a cake too,

with red, white and blue

icing.

it's getting dark

soon,

and it won't be long

before the fireworks

will begin.

i've filled up my little

blow up pool

with water from the hose.

after i eat,

i'll lie back in the pool,

with my

dog and together we'll

look up into the sky

and make noises like

oooh and awww.
