Mono-Rhyme In E

Got tired of watching MTV
It’s now World News from BBC

I’m watching with an OAP
Who thinks I’m with the KGB

I think that she has OCD
Is that a case for A&E

Then I discovered... OMG
Her cell phone is PAYG

Can someone pass the TNT
Or get me to an SUV

I think I need a KFC
Which might soon mean an ECG

But if I get a DVT
Then show a little TLC

And bring a portable TV
Perhaps even a DVD

Get one with a USP
And pay for it with USD

But if your high on LSD 
Watch out I’m NYPD
