Boiling

Rankine 672

is hot, let me tell you;

enough to make your tea

like Kelvin 373.

 

If Fahrenheit’s for you,

just make it 212;

but for the rest of us,

one hundred Celsius.

I have to confess my complete ignorance of the Rankine and Kelvin scales, Trevor. I seem to have rubbed along with Fahrenheit and Celsius all my life. And now a WOL poem shows me what I have been missing!
Thanks for this welcome bit of education.The title is perfect.
