Happy Independence day
Happy Independence Day
by arley steinhour 070311
Where is the celebration
Where is the cracker's bang
Where is the rockets glaring
Where is the cymbal clang?
This day of Independence
Is a day of silent cheer
Against the law to celebrate
Or make a noise that some might hear
Protection is the by-word
And Special Sales abound
Fireworks is now on Special
But the kind that makes no sound
We need not worry about Rapture
Where Jesus comes up like a thief
The neighborhoods so quiet
Trees fear to drop a leaf
I'd go outside, and Whoop it up
Until High Sherriff came
They'd look at me and drive on by
Thinking I'm too old for noisy games
I used to shoot my rifle
The old black powder kind
But gave that up when the smoke stayed on
Evidence that'd get me fined
So now I take my hank out
And blow my nose a time or two
And hope you heard me mumble
Happy Independence Day to all of you
AMEN
