Nobody knew the power it had, this electric heater to warm us all
From England to Scotland, to Ireland, to Wales, to the other side of the world.
Which wasn’t cool.
This electric heater could power us through the winter storms,
The tempests that warned.
A blanket to cover us from head to toe, that radiated until it burned.
Then it burned and it burned and it melted away, slowly, so as not to distract our eyes.
Only when our skin was the colour of burned toast, did we realise we were all too late.
