Happy 4th of July!
 
The words to a familiar patriotic tune plus some 4th of July humor forwarded by Kevin Rayner:
 
America the Beautiful
O beautfiul for spacious skies,
for amber waves of grain;
for purple mountain majesties
above the fruited plain!
 
America, America!
God shed his grace on thee,
and crown they good with brotherhood
from sea to shining sea.

The Fourth of July was coming up, and the nursery school teacher took the opportunity to tell her class about patriotism. "We live in a great country," she said. "One of the things we should be happy is that, in this country, we are all free."

One little boy came walking up to her from the back of the room. He stood with his hands on his hips and said, "I'm not free. I'm four."
