I Am A Fan
Left In A Corner
Years ago I was the center of attention
I had one job and everyone knew it
I was here to take your mind off the heat
Now I am outmatched by the a cooler fellow
i give people a quick fix
Until the air conditioners kick in
I use to come in all shapes and sizes
I was showing off all my goods
Proudly displayed in every room
Bring on those hot summer days
Metal was the way to go
I would work all day and then later on at night
I made so many people happy
Turn me on with just a flip of a switch
Years later I am all fancy and sleek
I come in many different speeds and colors
Part plastic, part metal
A push of a button
Someone even created a timer
For when I go on and when I can turn off
What will they think of next ?
I am lighter, faster and whisper quiet
My blades our curved in such a way
I deliver maximum air
They even made me smaller and more compact
Now you can put me on any desk
My ancestors wouldn't believe we have come this far
Some fans cost near one hundred dollars ?
Back in the day it was a weeks pay
We have come along way

AUTHORChitrangada Sharan Fans are part of our lives. They may only be a distant memory or still used often. To be a fan is to be something special and you can make many people happy all at the same time. I don't hear anyone say oh I dislike fans so much. They make me mad every day. They make me want to cry. Instead they bring a touch of cool air and a refreshing breeze to our bodies. Thank you so much for appreciating a fan. Welcome to the Fan Club. Where everyone is our greatest fan.
Very cool poem about fans! What a creative mind, you have to write about a fan!
You reminded me of the older days. I still love the fan. Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem.

Gypsy Rose Lee I like when I sit at the laptop and have the fan blowing on me. We had a break in the weather rain for the past few days. How are you doing? Thank you so much for reading and commenting. Have a beautiful day.
When the AC acts up the big floor fan comes one. Actually when the weather is not so hot I prefer the softer blowing air of the fan than the colder and more forceful air from the AC
Haha. I'll gladly be a member of your fan club, pun intended. :) Sleep well.

Shannon Henry Thank you so much for reading and making writing fun. You are officially the first member of my Fan Club. Welcome and may the breeze always make you feel good. I think there will always been a need for those wonderful, beautiful fans. If I may leave you with one final thought fan on ... Have an awesome night.
I do like fans. I sleep with one on every night. Plus, it's been over 100 degrees here for a good part of the summer and having a fan on helps keep it a little cooler inside during the day even though the AC is on.

Shannon Henry I am still mixed on this one. I have another version not finished yet. I might just add it in and see if I can make the hub even more appealing. My mind has changed a few times. Thank you so much for your support and comments. I hope you are staying cool in Texas. It would be nice if you were a fan of fans. But I totally understand. I myself have two air conditioners and two fans. The air conditioners keep it cool the fans help direct the cool air in every room. Have a beautiful day.
Good one. When I read your title, I thought I would be reading about something or someone you are a fan of. Instead, I read about a literal fan.
