Children squealed as others cried and grown ups simply clapped. A giant Catherine wheel spiralled up and burst in flares. Most colored pyrotechnics beneath the clouds got wrapped. The ohs and ahs were heard as the sight dispelled all fears. A giant Catherine wheel spiralled up and burst in flares. The smell of gun powder filled the air, but no one cared. The ohs and ahs were heard as the sight dispelled all fears. It was a time to feast and cakes and iced beers were shared. The smell of gun powder filled the air, but no one cared. Most colored pyrotechnics beneath the clouds got wrapped. It was a time to feast and cakes and iced beers were shared.
