Old Mr. Boston

How Yankees Celebrate Independence Day

By: Charles Giuliano - Jul 09, 2015

Old Mr. Boston

Northeast Harbor, Maine
Summer cottages
Mansions actually
Views of the ocean
Fourth of July
Visiting a friend
Party on the rocks
Enormous home behind
Cheese wiz on Ritz crackers
Boiled hot dogs and buns
All American it seems
Going all out on the booze
Old Mr. Boston Gin
Cott’s not Schwepp’s for tonic
Scotch you never heard of
Instant headache
Generic beer
Yankee celebration
Old money
Never spent
Socked into trust funds
Honored
Just to be there
Feeling oddly
Outclassed
By tightwads
