Television

I bought a new television for my home,                                                              It was the first telly in the village ,                                                                       All the villagers visited my home to see it ,                                           And it was a showcase at the center of the hall                     
                                                                                                                           No one was allowed to touch the new box,                          
Only my mother had the privilege to use it,                                            She walked royally and switched on the Tv ,                                                And sat on the chair in front of the small screen.                                                 
                                                                                                                           The boys rushed to my house at ten o'clock ,                                              And sat before the tube and watched cricket ,                                                            They made more noise throughout the day ,                                        Which disturbed our normal daily life.                                     
                                                                                                                            My place was filled with women in the evening ,                                                  They enjoyed the old and new cinema songs,                                                The dwelling was empty after ten o'clock ,                                                     My mother was shouting at herself to clean the house.                   
                                                                                                                          My house was a noisy mansion all day,                                                     The villagers visited my house like travelers,                                                TV has become part and parcel of modern life,                 
What an amazing google box it was!.
