Ode to Electricity

Electricity! Electricity! How I love electricity!
Direct and alternating current alike
Discovered by Thales when he was shocked by a kitten
And harnessed for good by Benjamin Franklin
It's dangerous beauty fills many with dread
It'll kill in a flash OR revive from the dead
Endlessly, flowing from wires within
The walls of my house, I believe that I'm smitten!
Because take it away and I'll be overcome by spite
Over a life wrought with needless simplicity
