Turn The Lights Off Poem by Phil Soar

'Turn off that light! ', my mum would say
'We don't give Ohms and Amps away,
We barely can afford to pay the rent'
So I became an electrician
Which was quite a welcome vision
And my time as an apprentice was well spent

I rewired all the property
Connected it to the grid for free
And all our lights shone brightly all the time
My mother then went blind
Looking at the light that shined
And I was soon arrested for the crime
