Friday Fling #239 for July 5th 2013<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font> <\/strong>The Fourth of July is always a time for celebration in the USA. <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

And celebration includes singing, <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

as Bettie’s challenge yesterday suggested with lyrics to Martina McBride’s Independence Day song.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n


\n Although Friday is the day after, <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

it’s still part of the extended July 4th vacation weekend for many. <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

So our challenge this week is for you to <\/font>write Fourth of July-relevent lyrics <\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

to a melody familiar to you and your likely readers here. <\/font>
\n
\n The format will be entirely determined by the melody you choose! \u00a0Like this:<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
