Change and Renewal

[picture of my gas meter, Copyright Jimmiehov]

Mary, Mary, how does your gas meter flow  

With little wheels spinning and numbers changing  

Comes a little man who reconditions them  

Good as new they will be with improvements made

    

Fix yours today before the market goes out  

It will send your numbers to a satellite  

You can get your bill via the Internet  

Meter readers gone like lift operators

 - There Rosemary has asked us to write about change and renewal.  She chose this topic after her apartment/flat needed a complete renewal due to a severe invasion of Mould.  

 - 88 syllables were written today for my ditty.  The associate pastor at our church worked for and with his father reconditioning gas meters for customers and utility companies when theirs would go on the fritz.  He has a meter in his office with glass sides and top for the purpose of showing customers how the meter worked.   Clever.   That job was before he went into the ministry.
