Television

Kevin Hulme

I can watch TV at anytime,

Throughout the day would suit me fine.

And late at Night I'm often seen,

Sitting for Hours by the Giant Screen.

But it's a Solumn fact you must believe-

If you switched it ON,  I would have to leave.

    Is it the control or the choice of program that is the issue. Well written

    • Kevin Hulme

      Apart from the Odd Documentary , Film etc : It's Reality TV I can't abide. 'The Other Bennet Sister' was worth the TV Licence alone. Yes we have to have a Licence for a TV.
      Thank you for Reading.

        I have gone further and haven't watched any TV in over two years

        So You must pay a license fee to watch tv, much of it garbage? The blank screen has the ability to clarify the mind, I would hope.. Does an agency like Fair Trading exist there? Or link to your PC and seek out a You tube kaleidoscope or any thing other than Reality TV.
        Can't find anything funny in this at all.....😂

          You have to pay for a Licence or the BBC will want to know why. But there are increasing Numbers that are not getting one. Never do You tube or Social media.
          As long as I have a Book , I'm happy.
          Thank you for Reading.

          Same here, it's more part of the furniture and interior decoration. 🕊️🙏📺

            Yes, your quite right.
            Also I remember watching - in the 60s - an Australian series called 'The Magic Boomerang'. Good Memories. Thank you for Reading.

            Kevin, this is wonderfully done 😂 The whole thing strolls along so innocently and conversationally that the final turn catches perfectly. “If you switched it ON, I would have to leave” completely flips the poem in one move. Clever, playful, and really well paced, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
