Gas man, do fill me up good

Reload my tank so I can cook

Without it, the stove's just a shelf

To place pots on, colors to meld



Oranges, reds, yellows and greens

Nice contrasts for a kitchen so clean

Filled with the implements to make

Cooking a breeze, and baking cakes



... Would never be possible at all ...

If not for the gas man, making his call
