The Ceiling Fan

In the summer heat it is best to have
In the bedroom it is good to have
A ceiling fan to cool the room 
On a humid summer day
When the season changes
The fan will be used
When the bedroom 
Is too hot
To get
Rest

Yes, for sure. I think that everyday fans are needed more and more. Here we had a summer day today, even higher temperatures than August. Very interesting poem. Well written Darlene Hugs my friendxxx

To be honest, my bones prefer a fan over air-conditioner. Not quite as cool...but pleasant enough. Especially on hot evenings.

Hello Joe, I agree with you. Sometimes an Ac can be over cooling making the area colder than it should be. I like to feel a little heat. Enjoy your day my friend.

Hello Mystic Rose, Rose, No a ceiling fan is not needed in winter. In the summer it is. If hot and humid. Hugs.

Hello Andrea, Oh Wow! Maybe this will be the year your husband will put up the ceiling fan. I guess it would have to be really hot and humid for him to put it up. Hugs.

Those ceilings fans do help us to get rest. Can you imagine before electricity, some would be fanned over, others would do the fanning.

Hello Sunshine Smile, Norway does not have hot humid summers? Yes we can also open a window, yet when it is humid the ceiling fan is used to keep cool. Hugs.
