| Oak logs will warm you well, if they are old and dry. |
| Larch logs of pinewood smell, but the sparks will fly. |
| Beech logs for Christmas time. Yew logs heat well, |
| Scotch logs, it is a crime, for anyone to sell. |
| Birch logs will burn too fast, Chestnut scarce at all. |
| Hawthorn logs are good to last, if cut in the fall |
| Holly logs will burn like wax, you should burn them green. |
| Elm logs like smouldering flax, no flame to be seen. |
| Pear logs and Apple logs, they will scent your room. |
| Cherry logs across the dogs. Smell like flowers in bloom. |
| But Ash logs, all smooth and grey, burn them green or old, |
| Buy up all that come your way, for they’re worth their weight in gold. |
