The Fringe Poet I do not know?

Pavlov's Dog

I am Pavlov's dog
Staring at my TV
Every Thursday the bell rings
And I'm drooling to see
The Big Bang Theory
And I'm lapping up my food
They tell me when to laugh
Bang, right on cue

[laughter] ha ha ha

If aliens are observing
My profound vegetable state
Another zombie assimilated
Into the world of low alpha waves
The power of my birthright
I trade for special effects
And I spend my life reacting
Like Cujo on Xanex

[Laughter] ha ha ha

Robert A. Dufresne June 25, 2011 at 7:21 AM I'm glad to have happened on this observatory free verse of yours, David.. Actually have been thinking along those lines myself. If we could remove canned laughter from some of the tv shows ... "Our Cues" it is amazing to me how many times we would not take the initiative to laugh. Must not be that funny! I enjoyed your thoughts on the subjject
