EXTINGUISHING THE FLAMES

The fire added fuel to the flames🔥,

People yelped and started to hustle.

Firefighters managed their time🛱,

by coming little early and🚒,

continuing the flow of my poem's rhyme.

They told hold your horses!

Beware of those lichens and mosses.

Some people started fainting and felt smothered,

and started talking about the next procedure.

Firefighters told save your breath!

and keep your chin up!

They started walking hand in hand,

and kept pouring the sand.

While others said give it your best shot!

to pull your socks up!

The fire started smouldering,

Some people started counting their blessings,

Somehow the firefighters brought good ending.
