Poem
I once tried to burn Day Light But found she was not flammable So I decided to try Twi Light Not a chance...Twi just laughed at me and Day smirked, snickered and pointed Which REALLY burned me up... 'Try burning Night Time,’ Twi suggested (No way! Burn me once? Flame on you Burn me twice? Flame on-on...ME I think) ‘There’s no need to be aflamed my man’ (Aw shucks...Thanks! Any chance y’all are sisters?) ‘Aw shucks...You’re welcome! Yep, Sisters of the Sun' ‘The Moon is a cousin but we don‘t stay in touch‘ (If it‘s not too personal, might I ask why?) ‘No heat! Also, He‘s been manipulating the tides Sister Sun even threatened to burn His Dark Side' (Did he relent and resume his proper orbit?) ‘HELL no! Now She’s confused and feeling the heat As a result, we’re getting REALLY weird sunsets’ (Really? Well I’ll be a sun of a sunset!) 'SO, You wanna burn Night Time or what?’ (Yeah, but I’d prefer burning Day Light There’s this contest on Poetry Soup and the theme is Burning Daylight) ‘Nope, Night Time or go down in flames’ (Well, how shall I Set the Night on Fire?) ‘You’re plagiarizing...The Doors did that’ (Not familiar with that I’m afraid) 'Geez! Come On Baby Light My Fire?? Try to set the night on FIRE!! Got it? (Ah...So I’ll be needing a Baby then and how can a Baby light a fire anyway?) '(Sigh) So here’s what you’re gonna need... A flame thrower and some gasoline’ (Got it! I’m sure burned up about this!) 'Pssst...Sis, I’m certain he meant FIRED up’ *The consequences were devastating I set a pine tree on fire in my yard which of course, spread to the nearby forest and then, to my utter shock and horror the entire neighborhood was consumed! Thankfully, everyone got out alive... **Jail-time and numerous lawsuits followed SOMEHOW, I managed to burn all my bridges but didn’t quite make it off the last bridge which really burned my ass... Submitted for the contest 'Burning Daylight' sponsored by John Lawless
