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
