The Neat Box
I've seen a terrible crime, a murder in fact
Ruthless, ugly, menacing; an unpleasant struggle,
She was an unsuspecting victim, strangled, from behind.
It didn't take too long, and then she was gone.
I have been a witness to many robberies.
Some were fascinating to watch, others quite boring.
Still, I like it when they get away.
Then there are blurbs for necessaries and desires.
These blurbs are much louder, as I am mesmerized.
Crap, now I want a burger and a beer.
With a thin piece of electronics,
I eagerly surf the channels, I can see many wonders,
While sitting in my chair,
I am there, without going anywhere.
