Notes About The Poem

For those of you who don't know what a "Bic" is, it is a name brand of a pocket lighter. Don't ask me how I thought this one up (lol). Thanks for reading

Candlefight

Two candles flickered a fight 
When the lights went out, just after midnight 
One thought he was slick 
When he blew out the other one's wick 
So the other one had to fight without light 

But the other one was quick 
And he waxed up a trick 
That indeed, was a little bit bright 
At the site of the fight in the light of midnight 
He flamed up from a flick of his Bic

Sounds like two cowboys in a gunfight fighting over both ends of the candle....
