Television- For Catie L.
Television-
As American as Chop Suey,
We watch it day and night,
Till our minds get very gooey...
I remember shows,
That are no more,
Ones my dad, or I,
Did adore
He loved his quiz shows,
A requirement of old age...
(Like moving to Fla. from NY)
I remember when
"The Leakest Wink" was all the rage...
And I knew, when it was on,
Change the channel, I not dare,
Unless it was to see,
"Who Wants To Be A Fridgidaire?"
That Phylis Rayburn,
He was a piss,
My father swore,
He would never miss...
Those goofy game shows,
To me just gamey,
I would rather read,
Than see those shows,
So lamey....
I did like some shows,
Like "Stainfell",
It made me laugh,
Oh, but most shows,
To me were hard to sell..
(Caus'en I is such an Indellectible, as youse can tell)
I've never seen "American Idle"
A car in neutral??
I'd rather see live,
A wave that's tidal!
I've never seen C.S.I.
"Come See Idiots"?
I wonder why?
There's plenty there
Right out on the street-
Why pay cablevision,
For more to meet??
I like some old shows
That is true,
Like "The Moneyhooners"
"The Old Couple" too...
Some people tell me,
They don't understand
What I often say...
They say since I bought,
That damned "Head Cleaner",
That I can't tell night from day...
What do they know?
I'll put on "The Millinery Channel",
And watch all about...
World War II thread...
They say now I'm nuts,
But that's all in my head!!!
