Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy

Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy I live and die with these shows Must now be classified as a senior citizen Only old people watch them, you know Pat, Vanna, and Alex Trebek Are like members of my immediate family So familiar are the faces of these TV friends Like branches on my own family tree Why do I not get tired of these shows Guess I'm trying to solve the puzzles as well Or maybe it's Vanna, love that old gal She's a sweetie, still under her spell If a weeknight goes by without these shows Seems like something's missing, I fear Wander around with a blank look on my face Hope they're here for thirty more years © Jack Ellison 2014

Well here's to thirty more years! I wonder if their plastic parts will hold up that long?

Dragon's too young for the answers so disrupts everyone when we watch them. Unless Grandpa Troll is around... He just rolls Dragon over, rubs his tummy till he's asleep, then uses him as a foot rest! Thank goodness for Grandpa Troll! PS. Talked to Susan Burd yesterday. She says hi! She's been too busy to do much writing for a while... But didn't tell me why... Now, I'm going crazy about why... To darned nosy for my own good... To dumb to have ask... Take after Dragon!... Yes YOU Dragon! LOL

They come on at the wrong time for me to watch them here... beside my washer being down... now my TV is too... Yep! Dumb Dragon... He did it again! After his disastrous crush on Godzilla... He saw a commercial for her new movie... and kicked the TV... Or at least... That's my story and sticking to it! LOL

There are things that we look forward to...at the cost of falling into a routine. :)

It's not just senior citizens that love these shows and can't live without watching them! I really enjoy watching these shows there is something special about them, can't figure this out! This is a perfect write about these clever shows! I surely loved reading this delightful poem this morning! What a brilliant piece, Great Work!!

Basically I'm hooked! If I miss them at 7:00, I make sure I watch them at 10:00 on the western channels! YIKES!
