Firefighters

Fortune favors the bold
who climb up the ladder
in a fireman's outfit
to see what's the matter.

To the ones who wear gold
that ride into the night
to face the fiery blaze
and who displace their own fright.

At the drop of a dime
and at the ring of the bell
these heroes we rely on
and who do their job well.
