BANNERS AND PENNANTS

                                  When I was growing up

                                  Colorful pennants and banners

                                  Adorned my bedroom walls

                                  With cartoon character banners

                                  And pennants covered the walls

                                  My Junior high school baseball letter

                                  Pinned up on a cork bulletin board

                                  Amongst the colorful pennants

                                  Black and gold for my junior high school

                                  Black and orange for my senior high school

                                  Blue and gold for my technical school

                                  Historical pennants were there

                                  One for the Battle Of Yorktown

                                  Another for Richmond, Virginia

                                  Honoring the historical town

                                  And also for Washington D.C.

                                  For the Capitol Building

                                  And the Presidents White House
