The Fire

by Jacob Eager aged 11

The fire is loudly roaring,
At the moment, it’s quite boring.
Chewing charcoal,
Wait! That’s from our bowl.

It’s growing larger every second,
Giving us little time to respond.
Darting this way and that,
Now I see it’s really quite fat.

Oh no! I heard the clock chime,
Which means it’s nearly daytime.
It’s massive now, making everyone run,
It’s being cheered on by the sun.

Then, right on cue,
Rain comes to our rescue.
Because of fire’s bad behaviour,
Rain is our newest saviour.
