Couch Potatoes

A wondrous title I'll admit I wonder what I'll do with it? Does genius color mind that dreams Potato's link to TV screens? A TV's 'tube' is close to 'tuber,' Round and fat (predating Uber) X-ray beams are bent to preen Fluorescent shapes that grace its screen. The outside world gets brought to you! What freedom! You've got right to view A life you'd like but never owned, Deft sign of times, the mossy stoned. The Truth you get is Truth tube serves you! Liberty (conserved?) by those who Grass avoid and "rope a dope!" Moms needs to wash their mouths with soap! Today, the boob tube's screen is flat If vacuum's gone, still welcome mat! Trump rapes! My God, he entertains But Truth gets flushed for short-lived gains! Long Tooth July 11th in 2019
