Celebrate Cinco De Mayo

Tara Darity
It will always happen
On the 5th of May
It's Cinco de Mayo
Celebrate the day

A very unlikely victory
Is the reason for celebration
Because the Mexican army
Had a very small formation

Mexico would demonstrate
They had only one intention
To strongly defend themselves
From foreign intervention

So let's take the time
To join in the festivities
Food, music and dancing
Are just some of the activities

    I think it's in the middle of the week this year, so I think I will probably be lame and not celebrate too much! ;-)

    I love Cinco de Mayo. And no I'm not Mexican, but I love the culture. That counts, doesn't it?
