RADIATOR ROARS

My brother always said,

“Only buy a house with

gas heat in the kitchen.

When you really want to cook,

elective ovens never do it.”

I’d say, “Only buy a house

with stand up cast iron radiators - 
waist high radiators that let 
you know they are there 

for you on a cold, cold 

February day like today. 

Bang! Crash! Crunk! Rattle! 

Rock and Roll! Listen to them

yelling to you, Get over here

and get your butt against me.
Baby it’s cold outside.”
