Ode to My Stove - "Old Yeller"

Sweet aromas waft through the abode
emanating from the P7 stove.
The repertoire of cuisine is quite eclectic
that is prepared with my General Electric.
Sometimes I wish I cooked with gas
but those "grass is greener" feelings pass
when I look at Old Yeller's glowing range
I admire electric's superior heat exchange.
Sensation, something she may be lacking,
but her results are lip-smacking.
Mustard yellow, with no uncertainty,
was much the fad in 1970.
Through her veins runs pure electricity
Her beauty lies in her simplicity.
My pushbutton heating options are five
WM - LO - 3 - 2 - HI

Dear dave!
Greetings from Shizuoka, Japan!
I do commiserate. parting from an old dear oven is always a heartbreak.
Whatever its emper, you know how to cajole it into cooking the perfect meal.
I had to part from mine this year whn the Missus decided she had had enough The new one is as compicated as a lady! Sigh.,...
Cheers,
Robert-Gilles
