Whimsical Generator

you and I have a complicated relationship
like a long unbalanced equation
requiring a clear mind in the dark heat fatigued night
when I walk with a torch to flip your roaring switch
plunged into immediate dead quiet blackness
in order to function you require
that I switch off the freezer and fridge in the mornings
before you can resume your power production
no electrical appliances can work together
you will splutter and trip
but in case you overheat
best to keep some lights running throughout the day
you are a difficult companion,
the comfort of your noise easing the days away
