Fireman
Through the wind
and heat
he answered
the shrill call,
jumping
onto a red robin
firetruck
fast as light....
with ear piercing
sirens
a bright motion
of urgency
climbing the foothills
just to quench
the enemy
of an ocean
of wild flames.

Fireman Wolf Cry
Nothing but have I upon this most
of auspicious moment to give
My total unreserved apologies and
resignation
Unto who whatsoever anybody
tuning white noise out would
surely listen
But a steadfast random collection
of nondescript desperado proclamation
And utterances unlike anything
other than a still drunk barfly
would spit and stutter over a
sticky counter
Without expecting anything else
but this as a retort or curt

Hey Mr Fireman
Hey Mr. Fireman, save him but not her.
She’s mean and horrible, and she has a bee up her keister.
Which one? He asks me, pointing from one to the other.
Good grief! He cannot tell a man from a woman?
They cannot train firemen any better than that these days?
This is nuts!
The big one! I yelled. “Don’t save

The Angel and the Fireman
A fireman named Fred
was happy in his marriage but sad
He had no children and would have been glad
if someone just called him dad
A boy came around named Ken
whose one desire was to be a fireman
The two became friends and when the boy turned ten
gifted with a fire hat by Fred happy on his bike he

The First Responder
The firelight danced in patterns;
Upon the faded wall.
As the old man sat and listened
To the mournful night-birds call.
On the floor there with his puppy,
Sat Jackie oh so dear;
"Grandpa what are heroes made of"?
He asked as he drew near.
"Are they made like other men?
Of blood and skin and bone?"
Do they cry when they're afraid?
And pray when

I'm so sorry to leave you dear, hard to say good bye to one so new,

You Cannot Beat Cop Fireman Doctor
A cop a fireman or a doctor the novice writer tried.
Been done someone countered quickly, and way too much gore.
Look at what people watch the confident writer replied.
It would have to will last a hundred episodes or more.
What about an action film? The newcomer suggested.
With chase scenes and car crashes, fast-pace
Lots of smart

My Dear Mr Fireman
Now my dear Mr Fireman
Let's be very clear
We neither one of us
Really wants to be here
Now I know it's my fault
That I cannot deny
But I can explain
If you please let me try
I thought I would fit
It was just such bad luck
I had no idea
I was going to get stuck
And please understand
That before you were phoned

Limerick: Once a Fine Fireman On Night Shift
Limerick : Once a fine Fireman on night shift
Once a fine Fireman on night shift
Called home to check if wife was adrift
Called alarm post number
Rushed home helter-skelter
Found his wife on fire doused in the rift.

Fireman, Fireman Help Me Quick
Fireman, Fireman Help Me Quick
By Elton Camp
An old lady called the fire department to say
“Please hurry over to my house right away.”
To save her, the dispatcher then does strive
“M’am, get out of your house till we arrive.”
He imagined the flames licking at her heels
So for speed the dispatcher firmly appeals
“I know, for you, this may

A Fireman With a Big Heart
Our firemen will always put their lives on the line.
It doesn't matter who for, whether it's your life or mine.
Most people would never give any thought to saving a dog's life.
But to this fireman it was like saving someones wife.
The picture shows the thankfulness in this poor mama's eye.
She knew without this man's help her
