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 Ive pondered I cant say Im 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.
