For the Fourth

A signorina on the game Met a chap whose pecker went lame Pinocchio knew What she should do And Roman Candles rose to fame (as did "Liar! Liar! Pants on fire!")

Ilene Bauer is my mentor. Her command of the language is a daily lesson (although her concept of a dangling past participle differs from mine). Aloha!

Roman Candles also take their name from a torture mechanism, are considered one of the worst, and slowest, execution methods. Christians were torched...you were lucky to have been beheaded! Today a firecracker!
