The small

Paraffin heater

In the corner

With its jolly flame

And the stories of

Its battered panels

Fills the room

With carbon monoxide

feels like the jolly old heater is putting on a brave face in very few words. Super short poem..bit like Charcoal burners, skinny, efficient, and add some copper pipe work all around, and the chimney up through small hole in the roof! Cosy.

Hi littleditty. Brave face or barest bones.

You paint a cosy picture.

Didn't know they made carbon monoxide!!! Used to revere the one when growing up in the 70's with all the powercuts as the only heating apart from holding hands over candles when no one looking :0)

Same, same. Take the can to the local garage and fill up from the machine. Grand stuff.

Hope you're well, Di.

Hell those heaters are dangerous never mind CO2 dozens of people die everydday in fires in our informlal settlements. Lamps too, as well as stoves.
