Happy Independence Day FReeper FRiends!!!
I am posting this on Thursday so we can have some silliness before the Holiday weekend.
Today is the anniversary of the day America broke up with EnglandTo celebrate, I found a little song someone wrote on Tumblr:
Cuz if you liked it then you shouldn’t have put your rules on it
If you liked it then you shouldn’t have put that tax on it
Don’t be mad once you see our freedom hit
If you liked it then you shouldn’t have badly governed it
Wo oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh, wo oh oh
