THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER ON “O” WARD Remember, remember The Parkin sweet and sticky, The toffee apples that crunched. The hot chocolate After the fireworks were over. The last sparkler that Sputtered out and smelt Of excitement. Remember, remember The brilliant colours Shooting up to the sky. Rainbow speckles of light That twinkled and flashed. The whoosh of rockets In the night. ....and the best nights sleep.
