Nice poem, I'll bet ChatGPT didn't write it!

Just had a thought: while rummaging looking for WS2812B's I came across a few HC-12 mp3 player modules. Perhaps the sound of crackling logs would be a nice addition. Hmmm...........

What is the difference between a rhyme and a poem ?

I only know one English rhyme I can recite for you -
Hickory Dickory Doc,
Three mice ran up the clock,
The clock strike ONE !
The other two escaped with minor injuries...

Still remember this for how many years now eh !  The British imported English teachers to Englisize us dumb Boers, and hence I ended up with a very kind and dear old English grade one teacher.  She cultivated my love for reading books...

Something else I remember from school days was that there was a donkey that circulated hot water through radiators in the classes to heat the classrooms up.
A possible heating solution could be to use a solar geyser and circulate the water through such a radiator.  The water should always remain hot since the same water is circulated over and over, and the water pipes should be well insulated.  Almost no maintenance and no consumables (like mains power, wood or coal or oil) to buy.  One may get old oil radiator heaters at scrap yards and use them, or spiral a reel of PE hose under the bed or make an art work out of it.  And then use a PC fan and a small solar panel and battery to circulate the heat along with the small water circulation pump.

Talking about poems etc, what's this?:

"Wop bop a loo bop a lop bam boom"

It's a soaking wet seal trying to operate an electric toaster.

What is the difference between a rhyme and a poem ?

Rhyme is chanted. Rap is rhyme. Icelandic rhyme tradition predates the settlement and was practiced in Europe for millennia. Here is a Wikipedia article. Scroll down for an example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%ADmur

Here is another way to "heat your environment"...  I'm sure it will have you burst into a cold sweat eh !

And then of course, there is Obies.  Anti-freeze for your blood.

Does old brown sherry keep you warm?
The Old Brown Sherry was introduced in 1916 and quickly became popular due to its accessibility, affordability, and warming qualities.

I really like the look of that Duvet cover. But I think I would be rather cautious of getting into bed each night because it looks so real, and from one of the, cheaply made, but excellent 1970s adventure films with Doug McGlure in them. The one with the absolutely beautiful caroline munro in it was excellent, but mainly because she was in it. As a young teenager when it came out, I still remember sitting at the "ABC" pictures and drooling when she came on the screen. :-)

Name that film?
