Boiling Kettle Mystery

 

2.3-Quart Whistling Tea Kettle | Farberware Cookware

 

My kettle never boils

But I am glad

For I can tell you, if it uses to

That would be bad.

 

How do we know

When a kettle is boiling?

Silly old cow, as if you don’t know,

By the noise it is making.

 

Who is the silly one

I would dare enquire,

Because my friend, believe you me,

It would be on fire.

 

How oft do we hear

“The kettle is boiling!”

But if this were really true

That would be annoying.

 

Think of the money

We would have to spend,

For just one time on the fire

Would be the end.

 

Of the kettle

If you see what I mean,

A boiling kettle is a nightmare:

A very bad dream!

 

Let’s hope the water is boiling

And not the kettle

Though after the water is gone out

It will start on the metal.
