Flag Protocol

Flag Protocol

Submitted by: John Cornick

Flag Protocol<br /> <br /> Our symbol of heritage <br /> Our flag we hold dear<br /> Was flying upside down and half mast<br /> From a school in the rear<br /> <br /> A result of foul weather<br /> Almost three months ago<br /> It remained there unattended<br /> Until now you should know<br /> <br /> One who holds these things sacred<br /> Was so upset he complains<br /> Until finally they fixed it<br /> And hopefully there it remains<br /> <br /> Now the flag is finally up right<br /> Obeying all laws<br /> We thought for a while, though<br /> It was sure a lost cause<br /> <br /> <br /> A light little ditty concerning flag protocol, which we dedicate to a friend.<br /> <br /> <br /> John Cornick<br /> Halifax, Nova Scotia<br />   Submitted By: John Cornick
