Description
"Independence Day
All is quiet, clam and peaceful, there is no distrurbing noise:
Pa the morning news is reading, Ma is cooking, while the boys
And girls are upstairs primping. All intends to spend the day
In the park where there’ll be speeches and a big brass band will play.
Tag and other games as healthy will be played by all the bunch
Till Ma calls and says she’s nearly ready now to serve the lunch.
But no cannon will be booming; fireworks will not light the sky;
‘Tis the modern way we have no of observing Fourth July."
