Memorial Day

For Memorial Day,

We have a Few of Traditions,

That we Typically Stick with;

Flag Ceremony.

This year, B Led us Through a Book

he had made a School,

Telling about the Pledge of Allegiance.

We Always Visit the Cemetery.

We DON'T Have any Kin

Who are Buried Round where We Live,

But We like to Purchase a Bundle of Flowers,

Divide it among the Boys,

Head out to the Cemetery,

and

Let them find Graves,

that Have No Flowers on

and They Can Leave a Flower for Them.

C Always looks for People

who have Served in the Armed Forces,

and B Always Looks for

Babies or Young Kids.

We Read a lot of Grave Stones,

and to be Honest,

Sometimes the Sentiments

Written on them,

Choke Me Up.

We Also Try to Clear the Grave Stone Off.

{Apparently, Blowing on it is the Preferred Method}.

And Then Among the Other Ins and Outs

of the Day,

We Like to Have a Lil'

Backyard BBQ.

Tonight's BBQ Was Followed by

Shooting Hoops,

a Rousing Game of Dodge Ball,

and Getting Our Patriotic Boogie On,

to

Neal Diamond's Coming to America.
