Extinguished

Stuck in a little glass cage Could be there for quite an age No fresh air and always there alone No one to talk to in my little home People walk past every day without a peep No one even notices me there half asleep THEN!! all of a sudden someone yells out "Fire" Sure they couldn't raise their voices any higher Some bloke smashes the glass with a pick The shattering sound near makes me sick Grabs me by the handle and gives me a shake Think to myself, settle down mate for pity's sake Tosses me around without a single care If I could speak at all I would surely swear Rips out my pin with force, was very fierce Really hurt me too it was my only body pierce Grabs my hose in his hand and opens my spout Excited he is as I shoot all of that white stuff out As I start to empty I feel a little bit of shame At least my juices helped douse the flame He shakes me harder and I give one last spurt Then throws me aside and that's what really hurt Done my job now I'm empty, completely spent Hit the concrete hard and my handle is bent "No one is hurt" I heard a fireman say with a grin Then he picked me up and threw me in to the bin I guess I'm useless now that I don't have any sap Perhaps someone will find me, use me for scrap
