Remote Control

I'm not really a poet I've never claimed to be The only reason I'm even here Is because I can't watch my tv My wife hid the remote control About a year or so ago So I'm just here killing time Til I can watch my favorite show I've been told many things About something they call "the flow" I don't even know what that is Unless i'm typing too slow Then they say watch "the meter" Well, I don't even own a car So if it's something to do with parking I think that's kinda bizzare They talk about "a syllable count" But I guess nobody knows That I can only count to twenty If I use all my fingers and toes One more thing they say a lot Is something about "a rhyme" Kinda like them bedtime stories That mama read all the time I just wanted to tell you this In case, you didn't know it I just want my remote control Cause I'm really not a poet

Nothing further from the truth, Larry. If you're not a poet then noone is! ...Ralph
