Of Lamps and Leaves

My floor lamp's supple branches
    spread out from its base
  When there's a draft in the room
    they wave all over the place

  Did I mention that the color
    of this floor lamp is gold
  The leaves dropped off, sadly
    'cos the room got too cold

Erm, if you’re struggling with your fuel bill, Gershon, I’ve got a little loose change I could spare. ;-)

I remember the days when I wish I'd had it that cold! Well penned fun.
