You could also play on the "fire" aspect
as in burned and incinerated....
glad we're not talking about you, Grover

Grover,
   I missed this when I took some time off.
What a powerful write you have here!  I think we'll fire this one right up to the top again.  (I was glad to read this really didn't happen to you.)

Grover~
Just yesterday I was speaking with a woman whose job (along with 7,000 others) with the State Of Florida services would lose their jobs due to privatization of the division she and the others work for ... so, hearing the T I M B E R loud and clear here~

Excellent penning~

(big angel hugs) It is so very sad to see so many unemployed! I all hope soon people will get back their jobs once a change to our leadership is made, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Grover, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

This is horrible reality to many in the working world today. Company's spending and then letting employee's go for any number of reason's. They go from day to day not knowing if they will have a job tomorrrow.
