CPC POETRY CHALLENGE PREVIEW: The Friday Fling Writes Fourth Of July Song Lyrics!
This is a special preview for the CPC Friday Fling poetry challenge.

Friday Fling #239 for July 5th 2013
The Fourth of July is always a time for celebration in the USA.
And celebration includes singing,
as Bettie’s challenge yesterday suggested with lyrics to Martina McBride’s Independence Day song.
Although Friday is the day after,
it’s still part of the extended July 4th vacation weekend for many.
So our challenge this week is for you to write Fourth of July-relevent lyrics
to a melody familiar to you and your likely readers here.
The format will be entirely determined by the melody you choose! Like this:

WE’LL CELEBRATE THIS WEEKEND
To the tune of “We’re Off To See The Wizard”
We’ll celebrate this weekend,
the glorious Fourth of July.
We know it was a heckuva day
if ever a day there was.
If ever a holiday there was,
the Fourth of July is one because,
we made our independence de-
claration, that wonderful thing that day.
We’ll celebrate this weekend
the glorious Fourth of July,
