Daft-- Couch Potato

Dear Lordy, what have you done
this loony spouse given me…
he rants and TV- clicks all night
much like a  freakish banshee!

Obsessed with horror movies
remote  control is life's drug:
This model needs rebooting,
It's time for urgent de-bug.

VERY nicely done, Nette. This contest is still going on? Can't wait to see all the winners and I appreciate my win in your last contest. I used to have a collection of mama, papa and baby couch potatoes but I've lost the baby and the clothing that was on the mama and papa. I love couch potatoes, even my live one!!!

Ha! The humor within this delightful write is quite incredible my friend, I surely love reading this tremendously well written poem with gleeful positions of humor and wonderment! You have written such a magnificent and remarkable piece, that which is truly worthy of a first place vote! Oh, I really like the extra spaces you place within your poem to add for effect...I certainly noticed that! Great Work!!

Know exactly what you are saying but... I think it's me too, skip the horror, the CISs and give me LOL comedy.

Lol, fun-tastic write. That widescreen is the main altar of modern life. I like the visual, too!
