Control

Remote controls are funny things Then, maybe it’s just me I wave it around for hours But, still can’t get channel three It will always find the menu For the treble and the bass If remote controls were human I would slap them in the face Remote controls are not my thing Perhaps its my technique If they could make one voice controlled I’d only have to speak It would follow my instructions And obey them to the letter A voice controlled remote control Things couldn’t get much better I’d shout out my instructions “Change the channel, fifty four The volumes far too low now Turn the sound up, give me more” If they made this little gadget Then there’s something I’d be fearing That knowing my track record I’d get one that’s hard of hearing © John W Fenn 03-07-2009

Just read "Criminals" and I must ask, where do you come up with this type of amazing humor. I almost fell off of my chair reading the last line. This MUST be in my faves and I hope you don't mind if I share it with some friends who are not Soupers. You will be credited with the writing, OK? I love to make my friends laugh, but am not as gifted in this area as you are. Love, Carolyn

LOL on this one. Gone are the days when the children were given instructions to turn the tv to channel 2 or cut the volumne down. Now we only have a remote control at our disposal if we haven't misplaced it. Sara
