Bonfire night

 A scary time

I doubt I am in the minority, I have never enjoyed bonfire night; to me it is an enormous waste of money. 

When I see the sparkles in the sky, and hear the booms, my mind has for years told me that for each firework a family could have something to eat.

There are other reasons, as an animal lover I worry about wildlife and how the night scares them, and then there are the overworked emergency services that always get thousands of burn victims each year; many lives are ruined tonight for the sake of a few moments pleasure - is it worth it?
