How many heads need to roll
Who to blame,
For the lack of heads taking a stroll down the lane,
Not easy to pin point a main culprit to blame,
As just about every content provider has given us,
examples of people with heads taking their bodies,
out for a stroll down a lane,
We cannot hold health professionals to blame,
as they constantly are talking their heads off in vane,
telling the couch potatoes to head on out down a lane,
for the befit of body and brain.
Nor the happy people who who have been down the lane,
and come on the tv to explain the benefits to body and brain.
To travel agents it is hard to attach blame,
As they actively seek out couch potatoes to take down a lane.
Since I cannot find anyone to take full blame ,
for lack of heads to be seen strolling down a lane,
often talking to other heads in reciprocal conversation
that has nothing to do with blame,
and plenty to do with how nice it is to get out for a stroll
down the lane.
So, my conclusion on what is needed to get more heads,
free of blame,
taking their bodies for a stroll down the lane.
If every tv program,
If every computer program,
If every school program,
Were to go blank for a while,
to be replaced with the following caption.
Will be back in a while,
Just popped off down the lane for a while,
Might see you down the lane in a little while.
Plan B
Produce tv's, computers, and video game consuls,
that self-destruct when on for more than a while.
Plan C
Pay parents to go on courses that encourage turning devices off,
for a while.
Plan D
Drastic but worth trying for a while,
Praise children who destroy electronic equipment,
and take them down the lane for a teat for a while.
Plan E,
After thinking for a while,
Give up and go down the lane for a while,
Where nobody else has been for a while,
And give my head and body peace for a while,
