God Bless America

God Bless America Our 4th of July started With fireworks all around Lightening streaked, zig zagged and zoomed While thunder created, the necessary boom And as a good measure God sent a torrent of rain To put off or put out Fires to save our plains So on go my mud boots and out the door I go I'm on my way to church But when I hit that mud hole I thought God had left me in the lurch I tried to pull forward But all it would do was spin So I put it in reverse And gave her the gas again It took a bit of urging Finally it gave a jerk When I had backed up far enough I took it from reverse Then I drove forward Careful, but hopefully in control I held my breath as through the drive And down the lane I rolled When I got to church Father met me with a smile I shook his hand and said "I made it Father, though it took a while" When Father Fox started Mass The first words he did say "Well folks it looks like We've already had our fireworks today" Cile Beer July 4, 2010
