Jefferson, Adams and Washington
All died on Independence Day, the celebrations
Presumably too much for them, perhaps
Frightened (like dogs and cats) by the fireworks
On the plus side, Garibaldi
The Italian nationalist, was born. Louis
Armstrong, the trumpeter. Gina Lollobrigida
Jack Johnson broke John Jeffries nose in Reno
And the Communist Manifesto was published
My great-grandfather was named after Garibaldi
