I woke up this morning
with the sneaking suspicion
that I was missing out on
something special today.

What was it?
Another manufactured holiday
from another manufacturer of
greeting cards?

Had I blinked for too long
and skipped all the way to the next holiday?
What was next, anyway?
Father's day?
No reason to celebrate that.

But hey, fourth of July
is coming up real soon
and we can all gather and
watch
colorful explosions
expressing more than we can
with our words.
