Our house has
Three climate zones
Just like the Earth.
A three-story,
The basement is the polar zone
And even has a freezer
And it’s cold,
Even though the furnace
Lives there.
The main floor, where we eat
And talk
Is temperate,
Comfortable and inviting.
The top floor is tropical
Warmer than the other floors
As you might expect
Made that way by warm air rising
And heat produced by our computer.
We have, in this house,
The world within our reach,
Or at least the
Climate zones.
