Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

The Tv Family

I knew a family who lived for TV

The only time you were allowed to talk was during commercials.

I did not know the rule at first.

But I soon learned.

The TV was on all day 

And the TV was on all night

It kept the family

From communication of every kind.

Andrea Dietrich July 13, 2018 at 6:44 PM wow, very interesting . Nowadays they can at least use the pause button!!! I enjoyed the message of this one. Caren Krutsinger July 13, 2018 at 11:21 PM They did not have one back in the olden days when I knew them.
