Yuletide Chide

Fire is the most tolerable third party. - Thoreau

we'd had a bad drought

tree too close to the heater

up in smoke, no doubt

Author's Note

"If I put my head deliberately into the fire, there is no appeal to fire or to the maker of fire, and I have only myself to blame." - Thoreau
