FLAG DAY

June 14th, 2005 by mike d. in Poetry

June 14th: Flag Day.
a poem by mike d.

13 stripes and lots of stars
I think it’s made of polyester
it’s flown by southern red necks
and also by corporate investers
yes, our flag’s a colorful one
to that I proudly say “Amen!”
but if you’re traveling overseas
best to pretend you’re Canadian.

this question coming from the girl who didn’t understand how the red sox would be able to play baseball during last year’s lunar eclipse… how were they able to see the ball?

I miss you pam

Hi, this is the l_tter O sp_aking. I’m comm_nting to t_ll you that your po_m is shortchanging m_. I know it’s art and _v_rything, but why did you hav_ to giv_ on_ of my jobs to my rival vow_l?

That oth_r vow_l g_ts so much lov_ from writ_rs and po_ts, Mik_ D! I don’t like b_ing snubb_d and r_plac_d by som_thing inf_rior. Sigh, such is the life of being the third most popular vow_l.

Mr. “O”,

I wish to say how sorry I am that I did not bring you, Mr. O, into play for that last word in row four. I hand to you my most truthful apology.

It will not occur again,
mik_ d.
