Rockets red glare
 bombs bursting in air
 oh and the eardrums
 them too - bursting

 A night of fire and foom
 of shells that go boom
 bright light and sudden arc
 colors across the sky
 flies in the light
 of dusk to dark
 and the rumble
 of concussion

 A spot on our blanket
 to get the view
 for a slice of pie
 a la mode
 to share a laugh or two
 between the oohs and the ahhhs
 Not to mention the OHHs

 (Raymond A. Foss, Fireworks)
