~ Blue Touch Paper ~

 

Light blue touch paper, stand well back,

It might go up with bang & crack,

Flicker fire fountains found, Coke Treat

Roaring rockets star-wards bound

Always told to stand well back!

Old oak embers escape as traps,

Ancient hot coals, still can scold

Until all have burnt & are cold,

Sparklers that seem so bright,

Can also take away your sight

Rubicon is marked quite clear,

No personnel can draw near,

Fireworks have bang in powder,

Fire crackles but rockets are louder.
