Notes About The Poem

This, sadly, comes from Real Life - my water heater stopped working this weekend, just glad it's April and not January!

Woe of the Water Heater

In life you learn the true valuables,
Hot water is gold when the heater goes,
All my cash I'd give out
To have steam from the spout
Taking a literal cold shower blows!

Cold showers have helped me a lot in the past! ;0) However, having a choice in the matter is crucial. Also, unexpected ones blow as well!! Great limerick my friend!!!
