Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Christmas Firewood

On early Christmas Eve we were

Placed by Dad into the fireplace,

Fine firewood pieces each for sure,

A lovely fire we would showcase,

And be a festive warmup that

For young and old would have appeal

In the family habitat,

Giving a Merry Christmas feel.

Later, the kids went off to bed.

In front of us stared Mom and Dad.

And then they too left us instead

Of first putting us out, their bad.

When we heard Santa up above,

We self extinguished out of love.
