Lots of Channels

Television sure has changed a lot Since the days of just three channels We didn't even have a remote Now they have fourteen panels! A channel shows what's on the others It's a channel of channels of sorts Channels for cooking, and movies Lots of channels for lots of sports Reports of the sports that are over Music if you're over a sport Watch criminals get arrested Then watch them contested in court! There's an Origami channel But it's paper view only, I hear Cartoons not just on Saturday But on every day of the year! There's a commercial only channel That's one I'd turn off in a blink A channel to watch a calf be born Not as delicate, as you might think! So many channels to look through I get a headache with my face red After a while, I throw up my hands And play a video game instead!

Hah hah, origami channel is 'paper view' - loved that! I do think there's such a thing as 'too much choice,' though!

man ya...there was an ad on tv at one time for a manual antennae direction turner (it fit through the air vent hole in the base of any storm window; no going outside in bad weather : )

Oh wow! It sure wasn't easy back then was it? I remember putting foil on the antennas inside to make it pick up better. We were fascinated by the new technology!
