When you're chopping wood you get warm twice
and a real log fire is real log nice
just be careful not to bring in mice
...or maybe that's spiders

anyway

When you're chopping wood watch out for splinters
it's a risk you take over many winters
and careful that you don't smash windows
...that's a pane in the glass!

but

When you're chopping wood don't forget your toes
you should have at least ten of those
or maybe eight is how it goes
...it depends how good your aim is

so

When you're chopping wood wear some protection
for the axe may go in any direction
and a classic case of misdirection
...well it'll take your leg off

then

When you next cut wood it'll be wood turning
that will be the skill you'll next be learning
because a new leg is for what you're yearning
...here's one I made earlier
