Oh was she the original writer. I don't think that I've ever actually heard the original poem. You're so clever about all that stuff can you tell me where I can I find it? But please don't stop your wonderful rhymes they always cheer us lot up 😊
No, an engine room fire on board a fuel tanker, scary as can ever be. I had to put the fire out before I could get out as the companionway was ablaze. An injector pipe had broken and was spraying diesel over the exhaust manifold.
