"Ode From My Air Conditioner"

I have a very, very old AC up here in the "JCTV" computer room.

It usually works during the summer, unless...there's a thunderstorm, a lot of wind, too much lightening or it gets too hot when the internal thermo decides to take a tea break and check out reruns of "EastEnders" for a couple of days.

Or, all of the above.

Yes, I should replace this monster, but when it works, damn...it makes it nice and glacial up here!

Anyway, here we go...

Said the Philco, to the sweaty blogger on a hot afternoon
You’ve been here for ages, playing your tunes
I’ve been installed for decades, it seems
My filter’s clogged, but that don’t bother me

I remember when this house was redone
When this was a nursery for a grand baby son
I think that was back in ‘72
While you were still wearing your Catholic school shoes

So now you’re streaming to public radio
Or checking out the latest sports scores
I may be an old man, but I’ve got a lot left
I just needed a little rest

Now that I’ve had one, I’m ready to go
Perhaps one more summer, or maybe three more
Thanks for being kind
To this old air conditioner…a cooler friend, you will never find
