ST CATHERINE’S WHEEL

 

On bonfire night

Across the land

Fireworks will be lit

By unthinking hand

 

And when you watch

The Catherine wheels

Spiral of fire

How do you feel?

 

Is it exiting to watch?

Does it inspire?

As it spins and spins

The wheel of fire

 

Catherine was a saint

Who died on the wheel

Didn’t you know?

Now how do you feel?

 

It was an instrument

Of torture and pain

Think about that

As it spins round again
