Fireman Jim felt morose and grim
He could not put out a fire
He lost his hose
So Jim foreclosed
As he no longer had the desire...

There once was a fireman, quite distinguished
There was no blaze he could not extinguish
  Though this fine fireman got old
  He wouldn't retire, I'm told
Free fire truck rides he would not relinquish...

Black, white and gray smoke trail a mile long, working all the way
                The fireman shoveling more coal, heading for the next water stop
                 Across the country, "The Iron Horse", goes down the rails...

burning building
                                  the fireman saved our lives

The sky's on fire
time to run is now too late
 to pray now-- time's up.

The sky has turned black
run for your life now, fireman
too late for you now.

the sky has turned red
fire is over the top
of the trees now, run....

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....

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.

Smoked Surprise!


Basking in new found love, just like a pair of swans,
To sweep him off with her delish delight was the plan!
Baking, making, waiting,
Din’t know when went dozing!
She bolted in a cloud of smoke and at the door was a fireman!

Today I am a dinosaur,
Hear me roar!
Kitty cat runs,
Doggie barks,
Daddy faints,
Mommy laughs...

Today I am a dinosaur,
Yesterday I was a pirate,
Tomorrow a fireman,
Daddy, get up,
Off the floor...
Another roar!

She's a perfect blend of Friday night at Freddy's characters and Amazing Grace
He's got a zest for life like Fireman Sam and Monster Machines friend Blaze burning in his soul
Heart forever tags along in tow remaining their home and safe place
They are my favorite flexible puzzle pieces making my heart whole...

“Stevie” 

“Stevie” II is my son-in-law.
Totally committed to his family.
Exceptionally brave award-winning fireman.
Very successfully, “Stevie” II hunts and fishes.
Industriously plans and lives his life.
Endlessly strives toward his goals.

I wanted to be a cowboy
So I put on a hat
Yet I never learned to ride a horse

I wanted to be a policeman
So I strapped on a toy gun
Yet I was to young to drive a car

I wanted to be a fireman
I put on a yellow coat
Yet I could not walk in the boots

Each one a dream
A young boy's fantasy
Yet none of them ended up being me...

Oh, fireman, by your saving grace,
my babies remain now with me,
so I give kisses thankfully
all over your sweet dearest face.

And please do not think that I’m rude.
Though my kisses be rough and wet,
there's no bigger love you can get
then this mama dog’s gratitude.


In honor of Joyce Johnson's first contest ever:

Scalding tears,empty promises,the rejoinder of corruption.

Keep away from the fire, fruit tree, bureaucracy don't scratch your pen on the 
paper.

Poison somebody's mind,my village has 800 souls.

The murderer boasts again and the fireman goes to an early grave.

I snuff a candle,knelt down and prayed,

......as the moon is beginning to wax....

There in the midst
Of those ashes I see
A flame of humanity
Burning so brightly 
Fuelled by love
There on bended knee
The fireman 
Who risked his
Life to save
A dog and her
Five babies
Is Knighted a Prince
With a grateful lick
Given
So tenderly.

Thank you
brave heart fireman,
thanks for saving us all
from the towering inferno, 
if I could, I would write a nice poem
to inform the world about you,
but I can't, so I lick
your wounds,and say
thank you!

There was a time when Movie
and Star went together: “Grand Old Flag”,
“Yankee Doodle Dandy” and so on. 
Hollywood, at the time, far less Commie – 
not entirely overrun by Political Bias, 
Social Snobbery. About the same time, 
a child lost or in trouble could safely approach
most any adult – every cop and fireman 
was Tom Mix and Ken Maynard combined…
and Abortion 
wasn't 
fashionable.......

George spoke to me
Today in my spirit
He said," Sara
Don't be concerned
For my well being
I am free, my
Spirit soars to heights
Unknown by earth 
Bound man." 

I am free from
Pain -physical
My emotions 
Are healed
I am at peace
Contented not
Confined to that
Mortal body 
I am now divine

(For the passing of a friend, a fireman,  father, brother, and husband. He will be 
remembered.)...

A brave fireman who was covered in ashes,
Enters the blaze with a mask and some axes.
Rescued a k-9 from a building on fire,
He had to be lowered on a thick wire.
The dog and her puppies owed him so much,
Licking off ashes with her gentle touch.
Things could’ve been worse and that would be sad,
He rescued the Doberman with puppies I’m glad.
They say that dogs are man’s best friend,
He fought for those puppies ‘til the bitter end.

Postman Pat and Fireman Sam,
Ballamory and Desperate Dan,
Thomas the Tank and Winnie the Pooh.

Hours of fun that entertain you.

Bob the Builder and Rolly Mo,
Rosie and Jim as they come and go
Georgie Shrinks and Tigger too.

These are the favourites that entertain you.

Little Red Tractor and Fifi Flower,
Dora the Explorer and the Troll that glowers,
Swiper the Fox and Lions in a zoo.

These are the things that entertain you....

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 big one!”
The big one was rescued unfortunately, and
Gave me the horrible algebra test I was hoping to get out of on Thursday....

The mayor’s flag is half-staff high;
A fireman has died.
The tears that will be shed today
Won’t be the first ones cried.

Not many people die at work,
But firefighters do.
A job like that is one that just
The bravest would pursue.

Their families are left to claim
The honor they deserve;
And those of us outside their realm
Respectfully observe.

A firefighter’s funeral
Fills everyone with sorrow.
That half-staff flag reminds us
We won’t all be here tomorrow....
