Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

On Tv In Your House

Lassie's a dog
  Kermit's a frog
Oscar's a grouch

Watch 'em all on the couch

Felix's a cat
  Mickey's a mouse
Donald's a duck

On TV in your house

Rocky's a squirrel
  Bugs is a bunny
Bullwinkle's a moose

The truth ain't so funny

You grew soft on that couch
Watching TV in your house
  And now that your older
  Your tired blood's running colder

So send your kids out of doors
And command 'em to play
  That they don't end up like you
  ~ At the end of their day

M. L. Kiser February 25, 2019 at 9:49 AM Oh boy, there's a much needed piece of advice! Everyone's busy indoors with "gaming" and "selfies" now. Gershon Wolf February 25, 2019 at 8:18 PM Ever further inward-directed does American society careen.
