The Arrival of 1960's Television
The furniture was rearranged,
to make sure there was space,
and suddenly the radiogram,
had moved to second place.
Now we would have Thunderbirds,
Star Trek and man on the moon,
Tomorrow’s World had landed,
right there in the living room.
And no-one in the family,
could really disagree,
with the magic or excitement,
of our black and white TV.
There was a note of caution though,
when mum to our surprise,
said, “don’t complain to me,
if you end up with square eyes…”.
