What are the best logs to burn?
	Beechwood fires are bright and clear, if the logs are kept for a year, But Ashwood new or Ashwood old, is fit for a Queen with a crown of gold, Birch and Fir burn too fast, blaze up bright but do not last, It is by the witches said, that Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread, Elmwood burns like churchyard mould, even the flames are very cold, But Ashwood green, or Ashwood brown, is fit for a Queen with a golden crown, Poplar gives a bitter smoke, fills your eyes and makes you choke, Applewood will scent your room, with an incense like a fine perfume, Oaken logs if dry and old, keep away the winters cold, But Ashwood wet and Ashwood dry, a King shall warm his slippers by.
