Electric Fires

Eqyptian pots of lemon copper

Poles, wires, and rubber

Holds up the electric fires

High in the sky – millions of volts to give the illuminating jolt

 

Their innovative measures gave way for modern day clevers

We sit in our cages, warm and cozy while tungsten bulbs warm our pages

 

Pharos would be proud of todays electric microwaves and ranges

For they the godly ones endured, lit up and paved the way
