The Diwali Crackers

Whoosh and swoosh and  boom boom bang

 All the dying crackers sang..

All the undead ones were

 Just enjoying the night.

It was too late when

They heard the fizzling sound..

Now they couldn't run,

From the fire-Hounds...

And,

Smashed on their faces,

Was the reality of life.

Not everyone goes out,

With a bang and light.
