Making pasta,
What a treat,
Time to start this masterpiece.
I grab a pot
I add water
I turn on the stove
I wait.
I wait
I wait
I wait
I wait
I check
It's not boiling.
I wait
I wait
I wait
I wait
I check,
It's not boiling.
I check the stove,
It's on
I check the pot,
It's my favorite one
I check the water,
It was as hot as I could get from the faucet
Why is the water not boiling
I need the water to boil
I need the water for my pasta
I need the water for my sauce
I need the water
Why is the water not boiling?
I wait
I wait
I wait
I wait
I check,
It's not boiling.
I dump the water.
I wash the pot.
I grab the hot plate.
I fill the pot with water.
I turn on the hot plate.
I set the pot on the hot plate.
I wait
I wait
I wait
I wait
I check
The water is not boiling
Why is the water not boiling?
