"Here comes trouble" some people said,
just because his hair was red..
He saw he was different with his bright,
red mane but knew on the inside he was
likely the same..
Most days he just stood there and smiled
as they chanted "you redheaded step child".
At times he was wounded by their troubling taunts,
their teasing echoed in his head, like ghosts, they'd haunt..
Labeled a "fire cracker", he rarely exploded. He took it
all in and eventually imploded.
This poor little boy longed for some one to say,
"He has red hair cause God made him that way."

Firecracker, look at you go
Sparking, spitting, flying by,
Putting on quite a show
For every Fourth of July
Bang! There goes the first
Crack! Goes number two,
Snap! The third one burst
Pop! For the red, white and blue
Let freedom ring out
Independence for us all,
One day a year to shout
Hear all voices call
When we can't say this
And we can't do that,
In a country amiss
Where freedom's at
Long gone is the way
Of such prim and poise,
Today, all of us can say
Let's make some noise
Bang! There goes the first
Crack! Goes number two,
Snap! The third one burst
Pop! For the red, white and blue
Sparking, spitting, flying by
Putting on quite a show,
For every Fourth of July
Firecracker, look at you go!

The man lit a firecracker then ran
Not knowing it was still in his hand
Suddenly, there was a loud ka-boom
He knew, he was doom
Walk out, looking like the boogeyman

Hot like a Firecracker, Red Dances her Truth
Red is a savage,
Takes no prisoners
For she wants for nothing
Red is complete
Onto herself
A pirate-faerie-gypsy-queen
Red is hot like a firecracker
Red dances her truth
Stopping at stop signs
Only to say "hi" to her cousins
Red is a fire hydrant
Waiting impatiently
Tapping her foot, setting her own fires
Red is not to be scoffed.
Red is sassy, sexy, sensual
Red is pizza, red is spaghetti. Stay out of her way!

Millions of magnificent miniature marvels,
shoulder to shoulder, sharing your showy shrub
as rich red rumblings rise from your racy petals.
Like sounds of cymbals you slice the still air,
shimmering in your lace of chiffon, shouting to the world!
Boom! Bang!
Colors bursting in brilliant blasts of
silence...

Firecracker
Our Founding fathers fought valiantly for our Nation to
Have Liberty. So today, we Americans may
Rejoice in our victory. No need for
yearning for the glory days, our
patriotic traditions are passed down as we
Rejoice with explosions of red, white,
and blue! Our never give up attitude
Is celebrated with tribute,
All kin are reunited with our flag flying high
aces! We cheer with chosen alliances, independence
day is hear! Boom!

Small of frame, cute as a button, and brave as a miniature tin soldier.
In comparing characteristics between you and your sisters, throughout the years
and your experiences, you were or became the bolder.
Facing bully trashed mouthed giants shocked all of us.
For, there was no violence.
Including the bully himself was shocked into silence.
Stature like a tater tot and confidence piled high like a pancake stacker.
I loved you great auntie, my adorable and gutsy firecracker.

From the first day we met our fuse was lit
The two of us, no man could ever split
Though friends have come & gone that's true
Nothing else is more important to me than you
I've left all parts of the past far, far behind
Cause our firecracker romance is one of a kind
We started with a fire and ended with a boom
Now I'm your bride & you are my groom
We make sparks fly whenever we're together
I'll be your young bride forever and ever
I hope that life can be a sensual slow dance
Ending with our blazing firecracker romance
