Our First Tv
1952 was my first experience with TV
A magical revolutionary new invention allowing
Moving visuals to be transmitted into our homes
So rudimentary like magic seeing
Magic it was for that long ago time
However colour was years in the future
They were ecstatic just to have this new invention
Our fantastic new TV was super
Neighbours were invited into our home
To share in this wonderful the new experience
They were totally aghast without exception
At what lay ahead for all were delirious
My dad was overjoyed to be able to introduce TV
To such a small number of people that he could
But that small number of people has grown
To very many more addicts over the decades
