No News

She ponders the late evening paper
looking for some reason to smile,
but its only a caper
that catches her eye, while
even the funnies
are too boring.
Its boob tube
snoring
time.

LOL, sounds like it's time for her to take out her favorite tunes and dance till times get better :-) To much negative boob tube is not good for the soul. Thank you for sharing the read and for your lovely comments. God's Love, Always, Adell

With the lack of morals on TV, I guess it gives new meaning to the term BOOB TUBE. If you remember, Ozzie and Harriet didn't even go up the same stairs. Now the man and wife and six neighbors do. God Bless. Vince

I can see her very clearly and the boredom that sits with her. This is very nice piece that tells a wonderful story. Great job.
