On her day off, after
 she baked a cherry pie



shw dug through her bathroom pile of unread Sunday New York Times 
and asked why I didn't comment on the page she ripped out
about New York's Gingko leaves in Central Park?

Wow, I'd somehow missed this in the 12-13-15 edition!

Daily at 5 AM
KD expects her
breakfast

She
has an alarm 
for rousing us
from our sleep

A series of
jingle bells
sit atop the dresser

she starts with a little one
to get our attention, but if 
that doesn't work
she works her way up 
to knocking down

the whomping big sleigh bell

we usually then get up
and feed her

(that did not make it big)

The Happy Cooker




WELDED
FROM A BASEMENT TWO-BURNER GAS STOVE
OF AN ERA WHEN THE OWNER HEATED HER WASH WATER
- AS IT STOOD (SHORTER),
CLOSE TO THE MAYTAG WRINGER WASHER.






(schematic)

IT WAS TO HAVE
a mixed-media head
fashioned with papier-mache  over a balloon.
The features were to be happy.

The phrase Happy Cooker
was to be emblazed across the wings.

But orders did not  flow as we'd hoped.

We do have the original copper boiler here at the Odd fellows,
which we use as a wood box for our electric fireplace,




AND
the now-famed but out of production
* Whistling Tea kettle *
with genuine old-time whistle (loud-blowing when water boils).

(Both orig. items NFS.)
