Hot, Boiling Water

Hot, Boiling Water. Those who sip a cup of joe What I say they surely know That Man moves on Steam Like that of warming cream. Steam moves locomotives Not least man’s motives; Follow a hot cup of tea And, you’ll reach the Sea! We all move on hot steam It’s also Industry’s dream: When Boiler’s steam is hot Trade’s vein doesn’t clot. If you look at man in winter Breath, as water on a cinder Steam you'll see as his life In frigid climes full of strife- There’s a Boiler in the body So warm when we’re soggy- To run out of HOT Steam Ends man’s eternal dream! 09th Oct’ 2013

Beautiful piece with a lesson to be learned from it. The fourth stanza is especially and exceptionally genius. Bravo, bud. You are one creative man, my "eSTEAMed" friend! :)
