'Careful with the fireworks.
Hold the sparklers high.
And as for bangers thrown at doors.
Don't you even try'

So my Daddy used to say,
When I was a child.
But oh those coloured fireworks
Used to drive me wild.

Even now I love a show
Of fireworks the best.
I oooh and aaah at rainbow sky,
Louder than the rest.
