Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Baptism by Fire

My Dad decided to retire

From work he never talked about.

But he came to me with desire

That I could do his job no doubt.

To an empty building we went.

Dad pulled out his tools of the trade.

Then the "how to" Dad did proceed.

I went through the steps unafraid.

I lit the fire as Dad had taught.

A quick getaway was the aim.

But too close to the fire I got.

Dad helped me to put out the flame.

Baptism by fire did exist 

For this first timer arsonist.
