Ethyl

Ethyl sat upon a hill so green,
Reading a home-loving magazine.
When she was good and done,
In the spirit of great fun,
She lit them with smelly kerosene.

Mostly ads too, my friend. Some of them are more than 80 percent ADS!

Thank you. I started out so practical, wondering how I was going to END it.

Ethyl has her nerve; kerosene's smell has her's beat by a longshot! You split my sides with this one...hilarious.

I am glad you enjoyed it. This was one of those 2 o'clock in the morning "does this make any sense?" things.
