Boiler Contest

[mikeradio]

I am entering my hot water boiler that heats my building (office) in a contest.  It is 38 years old and very inefficient and needs to be replaced.  I have to submit a photo (of the boiler not me  ;D) and three reason why I want to replace it.

Creativity and originality counts, so be as descriptive as possible. E.g. my boiler is older than my grandma; my utility bills are higher than my lease payments; or my boiler is so big that the building was built around it.

5 finalist will be selected and then put on there website for the public to vote.
first prize is $2500.00  second prize is $500.00 and third prize is $300.00

I am interest to see what this creativity, crazy group can come up with.

My Boiler is so old, I remember hearing my Grandpa tell stories about carrying water from the creek, in a wooden bucket to fill it! He even had to walk uphill both ways to do That!!

My boiler is so expensive, I had to mortgage my neighbours house to pay the bill for it.

I have a history with working on steam boilers at work. I wrote this Boiler poem for you. I never said I could write poems but here is my best shot ;D

My pipes are older and I'm ready for new
My diaper is dripping
Please respect my antique blue...
I once was the best
Money could buy
Now I'm feeling like a thorn
In my owners side.
Won't you please consider me
As a candidate for replacement as
I've huffed and I've puffed
My whole life through, only asking
That I might be replaced with something Brand New.

Sorry .... no creativity here.  :-[  You will have to rely on others. I like Keymasters poem though.

"My boiler is so inefficient that I have to fill it with a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water."

We cant fix it so lets just chuck it.

[Jim O]

Can't think of too many more clean things that rhyme with "chuck it " !

Stealing from the above..

There once was a boiler from Nantucket
That was so leaky it needed a bucket
*It's Ugly as Sin
*And Covered with Tin
We can't fix it so pay us to chuck it


Or..

*The asbestos is old
*It's covered in mold

;D

back in the day when boilers were mobile and really had to work. Much like on this big boy locomotive
