Tom Bell Poet Burlesque

Cousin Luke and His Hdtv

My dear and close cousin
visited me not too long ago,
I was watching my big screen T.V.,
enhanced with HDTV...you know

Now this impressed him so,
that soon thereafter he'd go
to buy two for himself,
but smaller screen in size,
I would not tell you lies,

I don't know how he did...
manage to set them up to rid,
the top and bottom of the screen,
It seemed to me obscene

I visited and watched a while,
repressing a growing smile,
no faces did one see,
nor anything below the knee...

His wife was unhappy too,
Foreign films she's apt to view...
Now no translation would she find,
to help her understand these in her mind

So, for Luke, it's HDTV..
not what it means to you and be....
In his case HDTV means for him
Half Damn Torso View is all you'll see
