Attributes of Ceiling Fans

Cherished in great heat.

Silently cools, our bodies.

It spins and makes us cool.

With its lamps hanging below.

A most comforting device 

And beautiful too.

Its magic?

It never asks a thing of you.

A simple switch on our wall.

Keeps us cool, till breezes of Fall.

Panagiota, Such a simple device, ceiling fans. Remind me of Casablanca. "We'll Always Have Paris" Now this poem does too. Have a nice week-end. -Rick

Where I live, AC is at 72 in simmers and not turned off. HOUSES HERE hold heat and cook overnight, Leaving it on is fror eat be ause it automatically turns down. The fan in your room does tbe job. MAGA, Pangie xx

We haven't had to use ours yet, gulf stream not blowing in our favour. We live in hope. Tom
