An Electric Light Bulb

 

An electric light bulb is a marvelous thing

A globe of glass and gas and wires within

You can almost hear the filaments sing

When light upon a page lets your reading begin

 

By what magic does this wonderful device

Receive invisible aethers from long wires

This strange glowing pearl beyond any price

As it relights from Sol its little fires

 

An electric light bulb is a poet’s delight

Framing pentameter all through the night
