Can you translate the poem (?) in the fan insert?

Title fan,
やきもちの火性　Yakimochi no kashō
A jealous nature, like a fiercely blazing fire

Kyōka poem,
難るしはにゆのしは　Habakaru shiwa ni yunoshi wa
女道を火のし引 medō wo hinoshibiki
ca. Steaming for annoying wrinkles and
ironing (fire) for women's passion and jealousy

This is a witty kyōka that plays on the double meanings.

Regards,
I.Nagy
