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!

Sand Blown Date: 10/23/2018 7:20:00 PM 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 : ) Login to Reply Pat Adams Date: 10/23/2018 9:19:00 PM 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!
