Festival at Amy’s

There is a rule for festivals, and this is how it goes,
Assuredly it’s something that just everybody knows.
Every festive party, and every jolly place,
Deserves to have some friends around, with smiles upon each face.

So enter, friend and wear your smile, and all your jolly clothes,
We wouldn’t want to flout a rule that everybody knows.
We’ve minstrels and refreshments, and a strolling bard or two,
And I’m sure you’ll find a message that is meant for only you.

Here's one for the troops...something to remember!

Defenders of Freedom

Defenders of Freedom, that’s what we are!
No battlefield too dangerous, no region too far.
We’ll march thru the desert with sand in our boots,
To search out a tyrant, take aim and shoot.
We’ll crawl thru the jungle, hide out in the woods,
Sleep in a foxhole, Go for days without food.
We’ll fire our weapons, drop bombs if we must,
Unless evil surrenders, it’s Baghdad or bust!

From the tortured and downtrodden we hear the call;
We’ll hammer away till dictatorships fall,
We want the needy to know that they’re not alone,
Even tho’ some of us won’t return home.
We’ll lay down our lives so you can be free,
Leave our loved ones behind for your liberty.

From Saratoga to Somalia, we’ll sacrifice;
From Shiloh to Saigon, we’ll pay the price;
From Omaha Beach to The South China Sea,
Wherever we’re needed, that’s where we’ll be!
You’ll know when you see the Red, White and Blue,
We’ll defend your freedom because that’s what we do!
