The last few years, kids don't come anymore.
Young adults, they're too old.   
Had a wonderful time last night    
My lady and I walked to the fireworks    
2.25 mi there, carrying folding chairs    
Best time of my life    
Music started at 7, we got there about 9    
Fireworks started at 9:15    
Mrs wanted a drink of water    
Went to first aid, asked for a drink    
They wanted to give me Gatorade, I asked for water    
They said the stand sells water, but I had no money    
Can I just have a glass of water, for the Mrs, we walked here    
They gave me a bottle, she drank a little    
Thankful someone cooperated, instead of focus on money game    
We listened to some music, I sat, she danced    
She doesn't like bugs so we moved back by the road    
Then the fireworks came    
It was wonderful    
Then we walked home    
While crossing the 4 lane street mid block.  
In front of us, a little boy (2) was yelling shoe, shoe    
The dad stopped, and a boy in front of them had dropped his shoe    
and they passed it and the dad went back to get it and the cars all had to wait, no one beeped.    
The Mrs, she walked faster near the house, down the hill.    
4.5 mi.    
It was fantastic!  
Next year she wants to go earlier, dance a little more...
I'm looking forward to the date
