A Fool's Plaything

A little on the disturbing side, I'm almost afraid of this one... almost.

 

'Tis nothing more than a fool who plays with fire

And never thinks to the heat.

'Tis a great joy to see the fool burn;

'Twas a great sight to see him ablaze.

It makes my heart sing to see a fool burn,

But the greater joy is in hearing the fool's cries,

As he pleads with me

To put his fire out

And I laugh, I do

At a great fools folly

To think I would help

A fool who thought he could play with fire'

And escape its wrath.

'Tis a great joy to see a fool burn.
