In this magic land of Grimney
Smoke curls out of every chimney
With Grimney marsh and Grimney mire
Folks like the comfort of a fire
Even in their beds at night
They will leave their fires alight
To fend off all those nasty things
With their sharp teeth, sharp claws and stings
Although you may feel safe at home
There are some things that like to roam
Around people’s houses in the night
Things that scratch and claw and bite.
So even though you may insist
Such nasty creatures don’t exist
I really do think that you should
Stock up with lots of firewood.

Cora Pearl,

Thank you for reminding me - I need to order wood!  Aside from the mundane chores it brought to mind, I enjoyed the poem.  

Welcome to PiP.
