My Dad's a Fire-Eater by Roger Mcgough
This poem is set in a children's hospital. Everything is going to plan with the firework display until the roof of the town hall catches alight. The fire brigade can do nothing. But one child, in the hospital with leukaemia, knows his dad will be the answer - because his dad's a circus fire-eater.
