Split Screen

When the TV screen is split, your eyes Bounce back and forth and back So you’ll never miss a player Executing his attack. Since the tennis crowds go crazy When the match is near the end, Viewers like to see the pros And if their leads they can defend. On one side we watch the women And the other side, the men, As they serve and slice and volley And repeat it all again. But when one match has a winner Then the split screen goes away And we concentrate on just one game, Two players on display.

Cases of crossed-eyes are up following US Open Matches, my optometrist tells me.

A fine poem on something I doubt I'll ever need.

SPLIT SCREEN? Most of the rubbish on UK TV is bad enough without watching two lots of it. And as someone, not mad keen on sport, watching ONE match at a time is quite enough for me. Another fine rhyming glimpse into everyday life, Ilene. Terry

My eyes were darting back and forth as I read and I am reminded of my mom and dad who’d watch. Hugs ~ Kim

I grew up watching a black and white TV, how times have changed. Tom
