[hometext] => NOW !!! with ALL it's verses. For the first time EVER!!!!
[bodytext] => Here is a story of things that burn slow Charcoal is one if my learning is right Coal, coke and bitumen can smoulder all night In fact carbonised fuels are all that I know. I guess that a candle or, more rightly, its wick Will keep a flame blazing for one day or more But now that I’ve pondered I can’t say I’m sure If it is the vapours of wax burning quick. Gases explode in a far more pleasing way Than the slow sputter sparking of a log fire A flammable liquid makes a flame higher Yes slow burners are dull, ignore what I say The thought has just struck me, I realise at last I should write a poem on things that burn fast.
