I Am Matchless

My fire has burnt out
I can’t find a match to light it
My coals are cold
My flue turned down

No sparks fly from my pipe
Burnt wood in the fireplace
No trees around to cut
The last wood has split

No more hot coco
No more wine
Just a bear skin rug
Laying by a cold fire

This last cord of wood
Has lost it’s harmony
I have lost my Match

I am Matchless

Hilarious! And you ARE matchless, my friend! 1.) Nobody can hold a candle to you. 2.) You need a light, i.e., a match. Love this one, Bobby. Thanks, gw

Bet your gal walked out on you and headed to the closest hotel. I'm sure you'll stock up for winter and never run out of matches again. LOL Enjoyed your poem, Bobby.
