Angela Crabtree Poet Rhyme

What To Put the Thermostat On

It's 55 degrees outside
no heat on in the house
My feet in blanket I do hide
the gauge I need to browse

At times we turn the heater on
then quickly turn it off
My husband likes it to be warm
I just sit and cough

Though cigarettes doth hinder
this I don't dismiss
To cease the falling cinder
can leave heat where it is

Back to the dilemma
of my feet again
Blame this on global warming
Tobaccos favorite sin

Which goes back to my question
in the title of this piece
What to put the thermostat on
This madness has to cease

Caren Krutsinger October 5, 2020 at 8:24 PM It is madness; I live in Kansas. Last week we had a 40 degree drop overnight! Angela Crabtree October 6, 2020 at 12:18 PM It's a little crazy here to. Hopefully soon the weather will even out. :)

Eve Roper October 4, 2020 at 3:27 PM My air-conditioned is always set at 74 at all time just perfect temp. A dilemma you are in . Enjoyed reading. Angela Crabtree October 4, 2020 at 7:20 PM 74 seems like a good temperature. We may have to work something out. :)

Vijay Pandit October 4, 2020 at 5:44 AM I hear the dilemma--stay well Angela. Angela Crabtree October 4, 2020 at 10:42 AM Thanks, Vijay :)

Anne-Lise Andresen October 4, 2020 at 5:42 AM - "Tobacco favorite sin" ... there is no place that is legal to smoke in Norway ... not even in their own home (but no control) - But, enjoying alcohol is ok ... abusing his wife a taboo .. .. let the kids see all this madness is completely normal .... I get hot just thinking about it ... turn off the heat, Angela :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Anne-Lise Andresen October 5, 2020 at 11:10 AM - The shops sell the cigarette (it's legal) - But they are behind locked cabinets that no one can see through - All have the same color ... almost black ... 20 cigarettes: about 15 dollars Eve Roper October 4, 2020 at 3:24 PM Sunshine, I've learned something today, thank you. Angela Crabtree October 4, 2020 at 10:45 AM I didn't know that cigarettes were illegal anywhere. Wow. Interesting. Thank you, Anne-Lise for reading and commenting. :)

Elaine George October 4, 2020 at 4:51 AM Yes! It is getting to be that time of year again. It seems where I live in southern Ontario, Canada we go from air conditioning...straight to a heater. I am sure you will find the solution. Angela Crabtree October 4, 2020 at 10:48 AM Thanks, Elaine. :) It does that here sometimes too with the seasons. Thanks for reading and commenting.

Victor Buhagiar October 3, 2020 at 11:29 PM You have to find a middle solution. Pity it seems the heater has no regulator? I prefer to keep warm. ~~ Angela Crabtree October 4, 2020 at 10:49 AM We'll get it figured out, eventually. :) Thanks for reading and commenting.
