I like the poem.  It made me laugh.  I hope you get more heat so you can get 
more work.

What grand design?

  WEATHERING THE WEATHER

  It's uncomfortably cool in Memphis,
  Life has almost stopped.
  The sun's turned suddenly gentle
  and service call have dropped, 
  business is down
  way down,
  way, way down.
  No AC's are breaking under strain.
  Can you feel my pain?

  Our bodies struggle to maintain
  ninety-eight point six degrees
  when it's only eighty-five outside.
  God has his reasons, I know,
  I just wish that He would slow
  down his retribution against mankind
  for fucking up his grand design.
