The Lamp
Ronald Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)
A lamp is for our feet and eyes,
The lamp is charged by electricity we comprise.
If you don’t fall down the steps,
We see the concepts.
With a lamp we can read,
And use our computer indeed.
With a lamp we bright up the room,
But when the bulb pops, boom!
We can clap a lamp on or off,
But it won’t work with a cough.
You can turn it off with a switch,
But it won’t turn off from a spell by a witch.
If a light is grand
Look for one that’ll expand,
Like the milky way,
You can watch the stars play.
If you buy a lamp
Look for a strong amp.
If you dance or sing
You need a light for what it does bring.
