Rockets red glare,
bombs bursting in air,
oh and the eardrums
them too – yup, 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, explosion
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
