A Golden Independence Day
Saluting the flag of the great USA
golden tail wagging high this Independence Day.
Proudly wearing a collar of red, white and blue
hey, let’s celebrate with a delicious barbecue!
But first, a parade, with new friends to greet
paws walking right in step, maybe I’ll earn a treat.
We can go for swim to cool off and have fun
then stretch out to dry, soak up some sun.
I’ll nap in the lounge chair while you start the grill,
lots of meat, please – this carnivore must get their fill.
As darkness falls, ooh and ah – fireworks are a hit!
Though I must admit, the noise scares me a bit.
Please don’t be offended if I slink off to hide
I’ll be sure to come back, and get glued to your side.
I’ll keep my eyes on you, with my head on your knee
sorry to be a bother – these ears are so sensitive, you see.
Finally celebrations end, all settles down
And quiet falls all over our town.
As the fun of this special red, white, and blue day fades away
Please remember to give thanks for freedoms enjoyed each day.
Saluting our soldiers, always protecting us without fail
Giving us freedom! With respect and thanks, I’ll always wag my tail.
