A Vegetable On the Couch

TV creates a vegetable on the couch
  Unhealthy produce with a big-bellied pouch

Yet echo words of a prophetic 60's Sage
  -- The Medium IS the Message -- 
Applies all the more to 2020's screen page

Jean Bush Date: 2/5/2020 6:57:00 PM The couch spouts a potato sprout. Haha! A great laugh, but now I have to take a walk. Thanks kid. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 2/5/2020 11:18:00 PM Why walk?! Just roll off the couch into the nearest potato patch... ~ Efficiency Expert

Caren Krutsinger Date: 2/5/2020 5:11:00 PM Couch Potatoes should be called couch rolls instead, because they are puffy. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 2/5/2020 11:19:00 PM Agreed. See comment above to Jean Bush. Thanks, Caren. :) Gershon

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 2/5/2020 2:06:00 PM I worry so about young people who get no exercise, Gershon. Some don't appear to understand the health complications that can arise. Your epigram is quite profound! Hugs, Carolyn Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 2/5/2020 2:58:00 PM Maybe these folks will solve the greenhouse gas problem: As they morph into vegetables, we can eat them instead of using farmland to grow crops! LOL. Thanks, Carolyn! :) Gershon

M. L. Kiser Date: 2/5/2020 12:11:00 PM This really cracked me up; with my imagination I got the visual of a giant cabbage on my couch, watching my TV. Twilight zone time! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 2/5/2020 1:26:00 PM Hey, thanks for the chuckle, once again --- 'cabbage on the couch,' my foot! LOL. Thanks! :) Gershon

Sandra Adams Date: 2/4/2020 9:26:00 PM Lol. So not just couch potatoes anymore ? They can be corny couch fritters or resting radishes ....perhaps pillowy peas .. I rarely watch tv though this wonderful state of the union address had my attention. Goodnight friend :) hugs Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 2/4/2020 9:33:00 PM Variety in vegetables is the order of the day, though on the couch they spout big bellies... Threw out my TV in the 70's and never looked back... And, yes, that was a remarkable State of the Union Address. Nice to hear someone who has the guts to take on the evil socialist Sanders, with his support for brutes like Maduro in Venezuela, and Warren and Sanders with their unqualified support for failing urban public schools,... and for all the Dems with their despicable promotion of 'sanctuary cities.' The Dems have to be seething inside, as 'Big Orange' really showed them up. Smiles, Gershon
