A POWER LOSS
The Comp’ny where I spend my time
Had a power loss today…
The electric in the neighborhood
Has all gone down, they say.
–
The power company says
That until eight pm…
Our neighborhood’s darkness,
Won’t be set right til then!
–
One department’s getting hot,
No emergency power for cooling…
The smell of it reaches way down the hall
We really, really aren’t fooling!
–
I got my e-alerts out,
My boss reminded me so…
Looks like things might be back on soon
And the rest of the night is slow!
