Be like the teakettle and sing.



Backstory

REMEMBER THE TEAKETTLE

Optimism is the cheerful frame of mind
that enables a teakettle to sing,
though in hot water up to its nose.

Be like the teakettle and sing.

Remember the teakettle.
It is always up to its nose
in hot water, yet it still sings!

Be like the teakettle and sing.

I really enjoyed these Tony.

I'm glad you enjoyed them. I myself constructed the found poem. The two anonymous quotations, which were originally prose, come from two different sources.
