82

At home I have an HD box
Perhaps you’ve got one too
The problem is my planner
Has now reached eighty two

It’s full of all the episodes
Of shows I like to see
All provided by those folks at Sky
For a hefty monthly fee

For “Game of Thrones” it’s nine or ten
“The Walking Dead” just two
And “Wayward Pines” I think it’s six
Lined up for me to view

I set record this evening
“Robot Wars” and “Dragons Den”
And that figure that I gave you
Well it’s just increased by ten

I’m really rather worried
It’s never got that high
Should I start deleting stuff
Or seek advice from Sky

I’m really in a panic
Only eight percent to go
Will the hard drive start erasing
Disappearing show by show

Tomorrow I’ll rise early
At six o’clock I think
No time to do the washing up
I’ve left the dishes in the sink

I’ll switch on my television
And choose some shows to view
I’ve got to get my planner down
Back down to eighty two
