My Old Flame

My old flame in the kitchen
Man, she could bring the heat
They’ve now induced induction
I feel so incomplete

It sprung up overnight
It lit the world ablaze
And now my flame’s anathema
In just a few short days

They say she causes asthma
And cognitive distress
I think there’s likely more at play
But that’s an addled guess

But I know when the grid is out
The Tesla has no charge
I’ll be flippin’ griddle cakes
with gas and living large

I agree "They say she causes asthma And cognitive distress I think there’s likely more at play But that’s an addled guess" - there is more at play here!

Something tells me that from this earth, gas will never pass.
