Who are ya! Who are ya!
Rowdy football crowd...

Dreams so smelly.
Waking in the kitchen
face-down on the telly......

Spice GIrls 

Just watching late night Telly 
And the Spice GIrls 
Sing
If you wanna be my lover
You gotta get with my friends
Girl power...

I am quite into comedy at the moment
Since the rioter's stole my telly
London's burning 
God save the Queen
Her subjects run obscene
The empire strikes back...

Documentaries are all I watch on the telly
Sometimes I even neglect my belly
Get so engrossed
Love astronomy the most
Neglect my shower, body gets all smelly...

cold beer muted telly ad
rain sound on the roof

If you were on telly, how would you feel
Terrified, comfortable, or attack it with zeal
Though this old boar
Has been on before
Still seems unnerving and a wee bit surreal...

Each day the airwaves brings an expert
Leaves one in awe a trifle inert
There they are on the telly
Advice on setting a jelly
Enough to put one off their dessert.

When I was a wee one many years ago
Dreamt of Roy Rogers and Superman on the radio
Before all this hi-techie
Action stuff on the telly
Visualized the action in my mind like a dynamo...

Does viewing an operation on the telly
Make you cringe and make you sick in your belly
If we can't handle it
They shouldn't transmit
No one's interested in stuff that resembles jelly...

Right arm is missing or that's how it seems
Could be worse but it's as bad as it's been
No telly, no 'puter
All I think of is hooters
Which ain't all that bad, in fact it's kinda keen...

Lost
Children
Dirt abound
Swollen bellies
The ground for sleeping
They need food and water
Asking for money to help
Nameless faces on the telly
Only one call needed to begin.

A fat older man from New Delhi
Had much trouble seeing his willie
He tried to lose enough weight
Alas, it was not his fate
So he posed for Buddha on telly.

I'm an 80 year old duffer with a great big belly
Because of my love of toast with PB and jelly
A favourite of mine
Since the beginning of time
All I do is lie on the couch and watch the telly...

Star gazing at night
From a pallet under a tree
Sometimes brought me fright
Because it was hot inside
And we didn't have a “telly”

There once was a kitty named Kelly 
Who watched his shows on the telly. 
When someone massaged his ears 
Kelly’s purr became clear 
And he became one cheerful felly....

Got a saggy butt balanced with overhanging belly
Try “Liftabulge” guaranteed satisfaction as seen on the telly
Get rid of that flab
This product is fab
Even Hollywood starlets apply this nice-smelling jelly...

I dated the astronaut, June
(the woman who lived on the moon);
on telly she said,
'It messed up my head' -
I guess you could call her a loon...

Like water inside a Wellie
Her boobies trembled like jelly
No one made a fuss
Since for all of us
Its better than what's on telly

Without seeing a needle plunged 
into someone's arm?   ...

I called it love
you called it convience
I called it affection
you called it an intrusion
I called it heaven on earth
you called it a sports car
I called it romance
you called it boredom
I called it friendship
you never bothered to call back...

Early sun rising rainbows dance on my wall
I wake up I am late
Early spring late train again

Late home hunger pains
Early dinner a takeaway
Late bedtime too much telly

Early morning feeling tired
Late again turn the alarm off
Early train oh no I missed it what a shame...
