Dangerous stuff we did when we were young

Old Time Fourth

by HarryT

When we were young kids
we'd hurry to our fireworks
ordered through the mail

keen to celebrate
our war for independence
from cocky England

Split up our blasters
saved Romans' for later war
battling other kids

fiery balls would fly
guys would dodge, weave and shoot back
wonder we survived
