Manna For Morons

Television is such a bore. If anything that kills brain cells The TV is the number one Cause of permanent brain damage. Between the ridiculously Lengthy commercials, reruns and The misnomer: “situation Comedy” with its canned laughter, A viewers IQ can drop five Points, perhaps more after sixty Minutes of exposure, truly! We have all become a nation Of clones: It tells us what to buy, What’s best to view and when to laugh. Do you feel rundown? “I love Lucy” sponsored by “Natural Energy.”

Some of today's sitcoms are so boring and inane. But looking back, I always had some good laughs watching the Lucy reruns and Seinfeld was in a class of its own. Nice commentary in your poem, Albert, and the title is a hoot! Love, Carolyn

I really liked your poem, because I feel the same way. I wish we didn't even have a t.v. but my family looks at me as if I am from another planet. No T.V. How would we live? haha. At least sitting in front of this screen cause me to think!!!
