I do not like an open flame <br />For in it there could be <br />A fuse of vastly more loss <br />Than aesthetic or even spiritual gain. <br /> <br />But flame for spirit is better <br />Than a world possessed of none <br />Imagine my sense of betrayal <br />When the toaster wanted fun <br />And in process headed towards burning the house down.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/of-toasters-and-open-flames/
