Maxi Clemens is lying on a bed
next to his owner Mark.
Mark's watching the big box with color.
Maxi doesn't like that box.
Maxi thinks that the humans spend
too much time watching the big box.
It drains their souls,
makes them fat,
and rots their brains.

Days pass where
all Mark does is watch the box.
His face is turning a deep
shade of grey becoming saggy.
His hair is starting to fall out.
His body has much more weight
than it had, and
his brain is now outside of him.
Why, you ask?
He was never using it.
Poor Mark.
Now, who will play with
Maxi?

I looked at my dog one day while I was watching TV. I started thinking "What does my dog think about TV?" That is what inspired this piece.
