What’s wrong with these fire starters
out in the forests
cooking their sausages
smoking their weed
sparks ending skywards
into dry grasses
Forests ablaze
best find your glasses
Mindless oaf idiots
not realising
parched and dried bracken
is it so surprising
the crackle and mash up
death to the insects
death to the flighted
death to them all
call out the fire service
damp down the cinders
