The Firework Grandmaster

with audio by Jordon Hodges

The man who forged Excalibur was great at making swords

And many great composers have excelled at notes and chords

 

But they all pale in comparison to one man and his craft

To call him less than fabled would be nothing short of daft

 

He’s the firework grandmaster – old as the wind and trees

The calendar on his wall is not in months but dynasties

 

His bright flashes and flurries are anything but dim!

And he makes them all with colors that are known only to him!

 

You can’t buy his fireworks in any store there is

He sneaks them in at random, no one knows which ones are his

 

And for those who chance to see one of his works of art

Magic things can often happen: a new joy, or change of heart

 

So the next time you’re invited to any sort of fireworks show

Just make sure you understand what you might miss if you don’t go

 

Though I wish I could advise you with a tip and friendly wink

The best advice I have?  Keep looking up; try not to blink
