Remote
TV’s didn’t have remotes
Way back when I was young
And though the praises of
All “modern” items have been sung…
It really wasn’t such a chore
To get up off our butts
To change a channel, but before
You laugh and call me nuts…
You have to understand that there
Were 7 stations, max.
I guess we had the quality
Today’s indulgence lacks.
So switching shows was much more rare
And it was no big deal.
A couch potato’s way of life,
To most, would not appeal.
Since there was less obesity,
A theory I could float
Is blaming this on exercise
We’ve lost with the remote!
