Fourth of July Poems

These are my favorite Patriotic Poems by Shel Silverstein. Included is Flag, Forgetful Paul Revere, and The Fourth.


One star is for Alaska . . .
One star is for Nebraska . . .
One star is for North Dakota . . .
One star is for Minnesota . . .
There are lots of other stars,
But I forgot which ones they are.

Forgetful Paul Revere
Was it two if by land
And one if by sea?
Or one if by land
And none if by sea?
Or none if by land…
Or was it three?
My memory’s not
What it used to be,
And it’s getting so foggy
I hardly can see,
And this hard, cold saddle
Is killin’ me--
Oh, what a ride
This is gonna be.

The Fourth
Oh
CRASH!
my
BASH!
it’s
BANG!
the
ZANG!
Fourth
WHOOSH!
of
BAROOM!
July
WHEW!


HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!
