Return to Sender
A box marked, “Return me to Sender”
Arrived at the fireworks vendor.
Inside was a digit
Belonging to Bridget
With bills from the doctors to mend her.

While some of us were soggy from yesterday's rain, Tabatha from The Opposite of Indifference was soggy from heat! Here is her own rendition of yesterday's events, which I've decided to post here so that my limerick won't feel lonely. (Thanks for joining in the limericky fun, Tabatha!)
At Mount Vernon on the Fourth of July,
we waited for lights in the sky--
they took place at one
in the heat of the sun,
so no one watching was at all dry!
By golly, we've got a party here! Mary Lee from A Year of Reading has joined in with her electrifying Independence Day limerick as well. (Thanks, Mary Lee!)
In my town on the Fourth of July,
Lightning zig-zagged 'cross the sky.
The crowd ooh-ed and ah-ed
at the fireworks from God.
KABOOM went his thunderous reply.
For more literary fireworks, head on over to Keri Recommends where Keri has today's Poetry Friday roundup.
