Channeling Dr. Seuss, here is a warning for old and young alike about the dangers of the upcoming holiday.

If you look up at the sky

For the fireworks you buy,

the whizbang might crackle,

the rocket might frackle.

But if they burst into flame

You’ll never be the same.

You love your fingers,

you love your toes.

you love your eyes,

you love your nose.

Don’t use a Roman candle

that you can’t handle!

Leave it to the pros,

this I knows.

— William Rice,

Butler
