The Crackers Explode.

The bursting of crackers all day 

 seem to be a noisy affair in a way

deafening the ears all through

frightening the babies greatly in a rue

disturbing the elderly to a fright

creating an unpleasantness straight

with fumes and smoke rising up high

polluting the  environment  to a die

what do they actually do?

just a blare and a blast

sometimes with sparkles to last

other times a rise and fall

with a  drastic haul

pulling the sky down beneath

raising the earth  up in a sheath

with incidents of fatal injury

burns  to a great degree

Well ! there be an atom of thrill

keeping us in a happy fill

but nothing beyond that

a wasteful expenditure  in short.
