Firework Versus Sparkler

I have a mighty fuse

Yet it’s the fuse of a mite

Tiny little tail

And so easy to light

I don’t go off subtly

Like the bubbly soft

Bobbing of a kite

I spin and fizz and hiss

Like a Catherine wheel

On a cold and shivering night

There’ll be screaming and shouting

Panting and pouting

Tallying up and counting

Withining and withouting

You can match my flare

Pop and whizz up there

Or you can maintain the

Childish precaution of a sparkler

Same spectacle

Just more accessible

And maybe even sharper

But when we both go out

You know the situation

Will be much darker.
