Ode to Television
When I procrastinate
 Television does not make me wait
 Tivo hooked in
 So I can watch my shows with twist and spins.
 
 It is a nightlight when the room gets dark,
 A voice when you’re sick home alone, along with a dog bark
 A comedy when you feel sad
 But also when you’re feeling glad.
 
 Something to talk about with new or old friends
 If they had to go to sleep do not spoil the end
 Favorites to fads, Gossip Girl the latest style
 Reviews for similar plots all stacked in a pile.
 
 When seasons end we beg for more
 But Channel Guide has choices for sure
 Your cable and Io network gives the guarantee
 My TV won’t let me down unless power is out, It needs electricity.
 
 They say television will make you dumb
 But we learn about the news and jokes from some actor bums
 So do not condescend on a worldwide great invention
 Thank Sony for bringing such entertainment to our attention.
