PROPANE PARANOIA...
by Ed Matlack

I make my words quite large so certain senior citizens can read it with their limited vision...e



 

 

I’ve lived with it for several years,

Have never had to experience tears,

Any kind of gas is an explosive,

It doesn’t present for me any inordinate fears…

 

But there is this old guy here,

That worries & has too many a fear,

I quite understand to a small degree,

But if its going to go boom,

Then its your time to go to Gods heavenly room…

 

So get a grip, oh man of many words,

Worry more of crap falling from airborne birds,

For you have more of a chance to from them get hit in the head,

Than burning up or blowing up while sleeping in your bed…

This is an absolutely powerful and gripping piece of work. The last two lines in the final stanza are brilliant.

Also, thanks for reviewing my work!

JOISEY - PARANOIA THIS!!!

As you will note from most recent post on the subject - I no longer have any reason to fear it - IT IS GONE!

As long as I don't go bonkers and stick my tongue in a wall receptacle, I ain't gittin' ZAPPED either!

Suggest you go back & re-read BEAR PAW's story - THEY WERE TRULY LUCKY, or BLESSED!

IT only needs to happen ONCE ...

"To be Forewarned is to be Forearmed!"

AND ... you can keep all that lucky BIRDCRAP up there in JOISEY - in fact, I hope you git BLESSED with it IMMENSELY !!!

YER FIEND - (no r on purpose) - PARANOIA PENPAL ...

OH YEAH - P.S. -

RUFIE SEZ YER FARTS ARE MORE DEADLY AND DEVASTATING THAN ANY PROPANE CUD EVER BE!

I've many a "bird-bomb" fall on my head. That's a good sign, or so it's been said. But concerning the issue of being blown-up in bed, it's those nasty "bed-bombs" that I really dread, lol! Sorry, Ed--blame it on Spring. Hope you never get blown to Kingdom Come by that propane son-of-a-gun...

Cute, yup, propane is sure a part of life in the west. Our Class C has a small tank for heat, hot water and cooking. Some have giant size tanks outside their homes, just a way of life, but do treat it with respect...

Be always safe,
Karen

I have seem two propane fires in my time, one when a hose leaked and the valve blew sending a flare of flame that started at about five feet while it was in the camp to about twenty feet when we managed to get it out and away from the camp and us...so I have healthy fear of propane and the power it can unlease.

if a bird sh*ts on you it's said to be good luck
if your propane blows you're fu*ked

sleep well, there's no need to worry, if Jersey hasn't blown up yet i doubt you will ...

Hi Ed, This one worries, only because of the experience of my house blowing up.. cuz of propane... while we were sleeping... yep ... it blew me 14 feet out of the house and I was 5 months pregnant. Miracle that day in '89 cuz none of us were hurt. I still like cooking with propane, but I don't cuz I worry... it's a trust thing...

In Spirit,
Bear

Wow! You've now managed to antagonize Ma, Brother Edvard, Canuck Jasmin, and Baltimore Tom - and of course, they all told me about your nastiness to me while I was gone. Shame, Shame, Brother!

PS Rufuz also says that you've pissed off a few squirrels, too!

Jersey what are you smoking again that you see flying saucers, don't minimize the effect of gas on the brain, or for that matter in your tummy, and you talking of heaven, fat chance, don't they call you the devil? No wonder you're giving bad advice to the old folks, shame! Try to be good! Jasmin Horst
