My Fire Extinguisher
By raskolnikoff
05 May 2006
It's about a fire extinguisher.  And the rhyme only works if you pronounce 'vase' properly.  No American-English.

I have in my room a fire extinguisher,
Thats good at extinguishing fires,
My friends say it's for electricals,
But i think my friends are liars.

You see my extinguisher is coloured red,
It's said to be better on wood,
So my friends were wrong and i was right,
you see i'm always misunderstood.

You see my fire extinguisher's an ornament,
a painting, decoration, a vase,
i'm beginning to question it's safety,
because i think it's meant for cars.

Do you know that is the first poem I have ever read about a fire extinguisher. It was a quirky and orginal picece. 
 
"But i think my friends are liars".---that was my favourite line,not sure why,it just made me smile
