I wondered why this light wasn’t working….

In time of yore,
Days long gone by
Streets were lit
By gas light.

Gas piped in
To open flame
Cities often burned
By gas light.

Time passed
Incandescent bulb
Bade good-bye
To Gas light.
I bought a house
With a back-yard light
Which didn’t work
To hurl back the night
I examined it’s
Broken shards
Is that a mantel
And a gas vent?
And there
Blazoned on the post
For all to see:
It’s A GAS LIGHT!
