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.
