Fire spread like forest flames licking the world
Except it was the fire douched by depression…….
More than fear……
Many a home had stress
Life’s care and press
Needs stood like hurdles mountain high….
Life took a bleak dismal air
Hope fled to save itself
A hero took it by the scurf
With his calm smooth easy ways
Adding ample water to douche its heat
Till man sober took the Sabre of truth neck high!
The fire place was nearly cold…
Even the cat was asked to pull its weight
The tabby had to fend for itself
Men were busy
Woman were dizzy
Making ends meet
Time was pressed to smooth sheets
