Sentinel.
One of the original pioneers from Sweden,
a classic cream and chrome with a cast scroll script.
Silent now, after Philistines had converted
her heart, her presence is still palpable;
the Aga stands watch over the family.
Across the island of preparation,
minefields of war play out.
The comforter is always there, year in and out.
Ideally positioned as a meting point
for mediation and reparation, for those caught in conflict.
Our ancient friend is always ready to receive.
No notice is needed for pizza, pie or roast thigh.
Frozen hand is quickly restored to pulse and tingle
from regret at too intimate a touch.
Finessed in looks but not as a cook,
flat out or off are the options.
Nobody minds the odd charcoal find,
much better this than a soulless contraption.
Oh dear!
