The Fourth Is with You

The Fourth Is with You

     Where you are has no   battles

yet in your mind you are   there:

     You command Cannon,   Kirk's,

plastic tubs of punch, beer   bongs,

green Jello, goulash, pasta   salad,

cherry bombs, Twizzlers,   sparklers, 

chess pie, citronella, grill,   Off!

Bactine, Alka Seltzer, 420,   bats,

          Frisbees, sportsballs,   truck

     keys so the hounds won't   wail.
