You Don't Yell Fire, You Scream It, Then Submit A Claim

If I put my head deliberately into the fire, there is no appeal to fire or to the maker of fire, and I have only myself to blame. - Thoreau

i played with matches

stood next to her fire

no one to blame but myself

'twas my desire

although

i do think that damned insurance company is a bald-faced liar

Author's Note

"Men go to a fire for entertainment. When I see how eagerly men will run to a fire, whether in warm or in cold weather, by day or by night, dragging an engine at their heels, I'm astonished to perceive how good a purpose the level of excitement is made to serve." - Thoreau
