Flameless altar candle

 

I never got the notion to show my true devotion 

Buying me those plastic candles with a little plastic Light 

You teach your pagan sprogs that a lit flame causes fog

and possibly the ouch you get from learning from your fright


Oh dear my sleeves on fire, is a typical require

from a pagan or a Wiccan tending candles for a spell

But you can't be fantastic, if your candle flame is plastic

So I'm guessing that the magic won't be any good as well


But back to aimless natter bout the dangers of the latter 

And the idea that a candle isn't anything but lame

It's seems to be unfair, that the thought of taking care

You never know the feeling when your robes burst into flames


So maybe an invention is a super intervention 

to create a special candle that looks real but it is not

It look and feels authentic with a hint of panhellenic 

For the candles make of plastic but the flame is rather hot


A nod to the suggesters, the wonderful ancestors 

But maybe if plastic candles was a sort of mineral 

I may be slightly musing with a hint of tad amusing

But lacking proper flames would work less in a brazen bull
