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!

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! :)
