The T.V.

The T.V.


What would life be without this device?
A dark hole, a disaster not once but twice!

You flick through the channels with smoothness and ease
without knowing how many takes happen to get the perfect sneeze!

Car commercials to T.L.C.
Lights camera action 1, 2, 3

Glaring at the glowing screen
watching that mesmerizing scene

you grunt and try to find the comfy spot on the couch
the you sit up and sulk into a typical American slouch

Oh no! Your brother has stolen the remote!
In the mean time you make a devious plan to strangle his throat

you hear mom yell beastly “ Dinner time”
then you scream back “one sec mom I gotta watch him get covered in slime”

what an amazing thing the T.V. is
it even shows you what’s up in Show Biz

You hear the old man say “ To much tv and your eyes will turn square”
and you say back “ Do you really think I care?”
