Steam Heat

Baseboard heat’s expensive
And it isn’t so efficient.
Wood stoves only work when
Your wood pile is sufficient.

Coal is just too messy
And it’s slightly out of date.
Fireplaces must be vented
Or you suffocate.

When you really want to be
All cozy, warm and snug,
Steam heat is the way to go
For comfort like a hug.

The sizzle sounds escaping
From each radiator slat
Are all you need to feel relaxed,
Without a thermostat.

On winter days, returning home
With freezing hands and feet,
You’ll soon be feeling toasty
As the steam brings up the heat.

Although it sometimes gets too hot,
On frigid days it’s bliss.
It’s nice to nestle, listening
To harmonies of hiss!
