I was out of town and consequently wasn't able to post the photo that accompanied this week's Magpie. I asked readers to visualize please a short string of Chinese firecrackers ...and now that I am home I have posted the photo below.
Kaboom bang
Snap crackle pop pop
Happy Birthday America
And Happy Fourth
Sparklers waving
With matches being struck
Celebrating our blessed luck.
