ooohs and aahhhs

 children spasm with excitement

the approaching night sky beckons

little fingers prod pull poke vex

but dad isn't ready yet

curiosity swells and mischief tempts

bulbous eyes that dare a glance

enthralled to fell upon a prize by chance

to rain the night sky

in an explosive dance

alongside the beat of ooohs and ahhhs

that rings all through the night

fireworks explodes to pubescent delight

while mom and dad

fancy a tryst.
