4th of July in Oberlin, Kansas

The town of Oberlin, Kansas, the county seat of Decatur County, held a number of festivities for the 4th of July. Oberlin has delightful cobblestone streets and a population of about 1,800. There were competitive one mile runs through town with several different age groups. My Frau and I were encouraged to participate in the "Family Race" but declined. That limited participation to under ten people.

Ode to An Expiring Frog

Can I view thee panting, lying
On thy stomach, without sighing;
Can I unmoved see thee dying
On a log
Expiring frog!

Say, have fiends in shape of boys,
With wild halloo, and brutal noise,
Hunted thee from marshy joys,
With a dog,
Expiring frog!
