Roy Pett Poet Verse

Sixties Sitcom Land

Hours of fun, excitement by this anomaly
being a member of the Addams family
I’m Bewitched and I dreamed of Jeannie,
our humble abode on Gilligan's Island, 
also lived our friends The Munsters,
the Beverly Hillbillies and The Brady Bunch,
around the corner lived Denis the menace,
so at times we had to Get Smart then there 
were That Girl she was courting Batman or
was it Robin, my love was my horse Mr Ed,
lived with The Monkees on Petticote Junction,
I met my favourite Martian in The Twilight Zone,
he told me that he got Lost in Space, now he’s 
become a Fugitive great friend of The flying Nun,
my memories of entering the Time Tunnel on the
way to my Voyage to the bottom of the sea,
I’ve been Branded by the Invaders, The Prisoner,
if it wasn’t for Mr Terrific and Captain Nice the 
Mob Squad from The Land of the Giants would
be the Avengers of F Troop from Star Trek.
