Fireworks 2013

To see the active wide fairgrounds

To feel the sun o’er heard

Though night shant fall for many hours yet

The crowd continues to spread

Many stands and stalls stand to stall

Until the masses might hunger

For elephant ears, snowballs and toys

As they wait for one another

There are causes here who spread their word

These books three next to me

I took them to shield myself on this field

But I may read them someday, we shall see

Though winds blow weakly within these hills

And sun burns bright above

And I now sweat though it’s not an hour yet

But this heat will last will the sun’s set

-

Watching these people run and frolic and play

I can’t help but envy their drive

I’m sure they would weather any weather together

Just to prove to all they’re alive

And the church volunteers scattered all around

With bibles in hand to bequeath

Though I may object, they have my respect

To go that far for their own belief

The bubbles fly by, but to my touhou eye

I see only spread danmaku

The mayor has stated the weather has abated

But I’m not quite sure that’s true

-

I got some shaved ice, though it has shown that sink

It happens to all of its type, I think

The color fades down, leaving behind only white

And a lack of the flavor’s delight

I certainly hope the rain fear’s unfounded

Because with this note here, the problem’s compounded

Because I’m a being of paper and power

I don’t appreciate a light rain shower

The books would get soaked, the ink here would run

And I would certainly get wet

Overall a large dousing would hardly be fun

But at least it doesn’t look like rain yet

-

The sun has dimmed and faded down

Though only an hour has passed

The cause is the clouds that have crowded around

Darkening the field oh so fast

At the first sign of rain, I think I will scarper

And head back home where it’s dry

Though I would delight in seeing light at night

Fair weather seems in short supply

-

Though sprinkles and droplets often drop by

I’m surprised to say that I’m mostly dry

With my luck this shade shall pass

So we could enjoy this night on the grass

-

 

The time draws near, one more hour to go

I’ve amused myself by wandering to and fro

To see all to see and learn all to know

As the rate of time seems to slow
