"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy birthin' and I will give you..." "Yours, mine and..." Who cares! From the heartland of America meet the "Fighting-Flanigans", that's Flanigan with one "n" in the first syllable because someone dropped the other "n" in the ocean on the way over from the Sod!

FOURTH OF JULY 2009


FOURTH OF JULY

Happy Fourth!
Happy Fourth!
Always a Catholic
Firtht, of courth.

Happy Fourth,
And I say eth
We’re no descent
Of Henry the eigh – eth!

Happy Fourth
U S – A
Priests say Latin
Mass each day!

Happy Fourth!
“Latin what??!!”

A firecracker
Up Henry’s

But – Happy Fourth,
Hank’s in his grave,
The One, True, Faith
Still frees the brave,

So Happy Fourth
Of God’s July,
In the U – S – A
A Catholic I’ll die!
