Final Clue

Of this day of all days true,
I’ll give to you this final clue.
I am the one who is so said,
That through this week I got so red.
Hot is what I used to be,
But then I found this little tree.
Which had on it “red hots” of life,
I gathered them with little strife.
To you I give them freely now,
So go ahead enjoy, chow down.
