Ode To Cinco De Mayo
By Gary R. Hess
An American Holiday
for our Mexican friends.
The best of our cultures
merged and united.
For this day,
this aromatic day,
full of smiles and giggles,
flags and fiestas,
and Godly dishes,
is but only the fifth of May.
Oh Cinco de Mayo,
you’re my favorite fake day,
leaving me with much gaiety.
I can’t wait
for your sombreros and cervezas
to line our streets with joy
and make us all Mexicans
for this glorious holiday.
