Composed

To be sung to a classic four bar blues riff – think “Bad to the Bone” from Terminator 2, each line interspersed with a DA NAH NAH NAAH NA style, chugging guitar:

Woke at two thirty,
The house was hot,
Got up outta bed,
So see what’s what,

Was the heating busted?
Or was it still on?
Temperature reading
TWENTY ONE!

Bashed a few buttons,
To turn it back down,
Set it to thir-teen,
My job was done,

Then I woke up this morning,
To a cold cold house,
The wife she was angry,
I felt like a louse

And so on. I really should learn how to operate that new fangled control unit thing we got installed.
