Notes About The Poem

Television staples in my day

three o'clock soap
the edge of night
day off from school

partridge family
traveling band
a tv road show

televised
landing of the moon
reloading cheese plate

warm country feelings
littlest house
on the prairie

star trek
interstellar adventure
before homework

reciting lessons
during carol burnett show
    queen of improv

sunday night
with ed sullivan
~ old flannel pj's

columbo
trench coat and cigar
adjusts rabbit ears

the birds vertigo
alfred hitchcock clocks in
creepy shadows

sonny and cher
sassy lip service
do not try at home

bedtime lights out
good night 
waltons

I was privileged ~ my mother was a good cook and made all our meals... besides who could afford 8 TV dinners per meal?
