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. |
