GLOBAL WARMING (For Hayden)
ROBERT SEARLES
December 14th, 35 degrees and climbing to high 40s They say My pal Larry has one of them big outdoor boilers and its Efficient Not one of them old smokies, like mine what burns 10 cords A season It's so warm, Larry's using big blocks of Scotch pine No rock maple at these temps Mister man No sir, and that pine's dry mister, (I picked up a chunk) So dry That Larry's got to tie down those blocks in The firebox Just so's they stay and burn and don't fly up The chimney! They say it'll be even warmer Tomorrow.
