July 4th: A Time of Comfort and A Reminder 4 Change by Myke Y.U.N.G.
It’s that moment in the middle of the summer
When the coolers have to be stocked up, paper
Plates and aluminum trays need to be bought,
And you need to come up with an outfit more patriotic
Than Captain America’s suit. Time for cookouts with
Playlists dipped in nostalgia and giving birth to unforgettable
Moments on the dance floor or patches of grass that’s trying
Not to get ripped apart by your frantic feet. However the grill
Master is the DJ of the evening with them needing to make sure
Every hot dog and hamburger is cooked just right like they're
Playing a mobile game, but a burnt dog here will lead to a ruined
Night for someone or even worse, spark for family drama with it
Taking more than an upbeat song to turn it around. Reconnection
And reunions are sprinkled out through the partying with stories of
The past, finding audiences and wonderment on the fates of family
And friends finally being revealed, yet the day can’t be over until we
See fireworks in the night sky illuminating the faces of people who
Are well fed and relaxed with worries taking a temporary vacation
Even if it’s only until tomorrow morning, but while we might all see
The red, white, blue in as many different views as the states that make
The stars, we should be grateful for the many freedoms that we have
In this country, but also use this holiday to remind us that the list is far
From complete and we must continue to fight for it to expand like a choir
Taking new members to sing the national anthem.
I haven’t been to a cookout in years I feel as black people we keep focusing on what the white man is doing
Can we have more cookouts now especially when Covid is over please
The cookouts are where it’s at! I mean we focus on our and keep a watchful eye. Cause we all know how that goes😒. I want us to be able to connect back with each other as well! I hope so but is Covid even gonna be over? Is the first question!

A bright autumnal Saturday afternoon. Just a leaf fire, more or less. Some smoked sausage. Some pop. And The Banana Splits killing time that otherwise would seem to be drowning in ennui. What more could be asked for?
And not that far off: Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy under much the same scenario, only it’s hot dogs for the most part. Just a simple “father/son bonding” bit.
Not far off from that one: Wendy and Rita, between missions involving Old Nugget Nose (who, know, is sworn never to reveal where the Lost Dutchman’s Mine may be), heating up some homemade chili and sharing such with a few of their fellow Laydeez (if for no other reason than that it’s just a Saturday afternoon driven more by fear of ennui).
Do these exercises in poesy get too much to you? Or do you otherwise have some Hanna-Barberian poesy worth sharing?
