a hot day and a smelter

A hot day and a smelter Is it in Qatar, or in Dubai a friendly aluminum  smelter for sale, the one in the picture on a TV add looks ok Now that my wife is on holiday with her aunt I cruse on the TV, but this is the first time I have come across  a smelter of aluminum  I buy food at the deli and warm it at home, taste remarkable like my wife's cooking, not that I have seen her peeled potatoes. She hollers, come and get it and slams the cooking lids together I have had many cars, old ones, mainly because  I can't afford the taxi fare, I have no money to buy a new car. Aluminum smelter! Wouldn't that be amazing? I met a man in a bar who said he was a retired poet spent his time writing slogans on walls I told him about the affable smelter in Dubai  the retired poet looked out of the window  picked up his notebook and took no interest in my smelter He had seen a donkey with a straw hat and  regretted his retirement
