The Tv Cable Bill Goes Up
The TV Cable Bill Goes Up Again
By Elton Camp
When towns allow creation of a monopoly,
Its prices will always rise, just wait and see
Television cable companies are a good example
They have a cost that, for service, is fully ample
But they continually are looking for some ruse
An ever-escalating monthly charge to excuse
We can’t pay only for the channels that we pick
Selling them in bundles is their dirty little trick
So, in order to get the channels that I like best,
I have to pay for a whole bunch that I detest
And almost every time that we have some wind
For many days the cable service will be off again
The next time the price rises I may fill my wish
And have installed my own home satellite dish
If enough business the cable company does lose
To listen to reason they may well cease to refuse
