Discharging is what I do
It's my way of serving you
Ingredients you supply
Extract their essence do I
Push my buttons; make me start
Now it's time to do my part
A tumultuous event
During which I've steam to vent
A contrivance that expels
Found in the place where one dwells
I deliver refreshment
A most worthwhile investment
