Gas Stove Fire breathing dragons are not obsolete, For I have one willing to cook my meat. He heats my steaks and leg of lamb. He cooks my dinners. He browns my ham. He keeps a good watch from his towering height And gets very sad when I have Chicken Delight. He is always dependable, even at night, For he keeps himself lit with his pilot light. Andy Bassis NW mi 5m he y Lawnmower A kindly monster lives downstairs. It crops the lawn but not my hair. We change its stomach once in a while. It likes us so it oftem smiles. But see an uncropped lawn, it roars And charges at it like a bear. It's all we can do to hold its horns And guide it till the lawn is done. Mary Mazzocco
