Boob Tube

watching the boob tube
not a waste of time
PBS is good
got me through grade school
use to watch Hunter
Virginia
on Friday nights
the step daughters
loved their Baywatch
eighty-six
world series
eyes were glued
Red Sox
they lost
shucks

Tom Quigley Date: 4/29/2016 1:26:00 PM '86 sucked for me too. Fortunately, there have been '04 and '07! For all the additional channels of crap that have sprung up, there are more channels of good stuff too.
