The clicker Thief

Does your TV have a timer?
Will it turn off automatic?

I miss the days of simple viewing and television static.

On switch 

Off switch

No subscriptions and way less problematic.

Before never needing a broadband service ,

electric installation or a qualified mechanic

Thirty-nine minutes I've searched in a crazed and frenzied panic.

If you could see me now
How I am reacting...
you'd think I was about to board the sinking ship Titanic.

I've even looked in all the pockets, of everybody's jacket. 

But how else am I supposed to watch my favorite drama?
And all of its dramatics

The only silver lining is my toddler's nursery rhymes
She asks for, so eagerly erratic

Ive not had to endure such noise or listen to its racket
