Pipe Dreams

 Nip-in-the-air becomes a bite

When heating doesn’t work quite right

Pipes gurgle on the upper floors;

I wrap up warm with frosty claws!

 

With curtains drawn and cup of tea

Surely, I should “cosy” be?

We take for granted winter heat

When we enter from the street…

 

But no – my old house shows its age;

New boiler fitted - all the rage

But radiators are “old style”

And haven’t worked well for a while…

 

The pressure drops – where is the leak?

Two workmen will be back this week

To test the circuit and retrace

The cracks - so I have happy face!
