PHLOGISTON
[flɒˈdʒɪstɒn]
-noun
(chemistry) a hypothetical substance formerly thought to be
present in all combustible materials and to be released during burning
There was love once in the old frame
But it burnt out with the business of
growing up
All phlogiston and sparkles petering
out
As sentiments cooled off and settled
somewhere else.
