Pondering With A Purpose - Fire

Well since today is the 4th of July, it is appropriate that we start with some ponderings.  This week's topic brought to us by Brenda is:

Fire...

Well if you play with fire, you might get burnt

Even if you have a fiery personality

Though you may get along like a house on fire

It is important to remember that to fight fire with fire

especially when one's fat in in the fire.

For if you have several irons in the fire

They need to have a baptism of fire

because fire makes an excellent servant but a poor master.

Those irons had to go from the frying pan into the fire

to be ready to go out on the firing line.

You can then use those irons to fire a shot across the bow

but you will then be sure to draw fire

Others will then hold your feel to the fire

to make sure you are just not firing blanks 

but rather shooting Great Balls of Fire.
