Title
Forecast for July Fourth, p. 8
Description
"If Fourth of July be warm and fair,
Expect to smell powder everywhere.
If rain comes down and wet us through,
Look out for bands and processions, too.
If the sun shines bright and the sky be blue,
The balloon may go up at half-past two.
If clouds there be on the Fourth o’ July,
The crackers will pop and rockets will fly.
If the wind blow north, south, east or west,
Horns, drums, and trumpets will get no rest,
Whatever the weather may happen to be,
The Fourth o’ July is the day for me!"
