Holiday Weekends for Writer's Cramp |
Holiday Weekends 32 Growing up in the Bay Area July 4th was always a big event We would often celebrate The holiday By eating homemade apple pie With ice cream Then have grilled hamburgers And hot dogs and corn Then sometimes we would go To the Alameda County fair In far off Sam Ramon To enjoy a traditional small-town parade And see the fireworks From the deck over the bay When I went to college In Stockton I spend a few summers Enjoying a small town July 4th party Complete with a small-town parade And we would play runaway frisbee On the lawn at the college And once I went to a pool party While at college And that was fun As well These are my memories 0f July 4th Parties in my now distant past.
