Go for These Days

(Flag Day)

x

Aw

Today is Flag Day

And Mitzi’s birthday

The flags are flown

My dad did that

While we

Placed crepe paper through

The spokes

Of our bicycles

More of a deal on

Memorial Day

But that was past

And we had

Supplies

x

We’ve had

The different flags

I liked Betsy Ross well enough

Though to question her

Is fine

About the Stars and Stripes

Story

As long as we don’t excoriate

It seems

That no matter what

She was a patriot

x

See

I believe

In these stupid things

Don’t Tread on Me

Soaring Fort McHenry

Semper Fidelis

I think

They speak

To birth and to progress

Of a nation

Of this nation

x

And it’s Mitzi’s birthday

She was our dog

And faithful

At it
