The Flame Licked My Shoe


The petal was on fire

The stem was on fire

The water was on fire

The vase was on fire

 

The book caught fire

The case caught fire

The frame caught fire

The table caught fire

 

The carpet in flames

The shoe in flames

The pillow in flames

The bed in flames

 

The candle melted

The plastic bag melted

The charger in the wall melted

The red and blue crayon melted

 

It ran along the rug

It ran along the wall

It ran along the ceiling

It ran along the chair

 

The shoes are on fire

The pants are on fire

The rope is on fire

I am on fire.
