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

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....
