THE REMOTE!

Daniel

There is something on tv
That I really want to watch
So I make myself comfy
My phone is switched off

I reach for the remote
To find the channel I need
Nothing could be simpler
Just how hard can it be

But it has so many buttons
Their purpose is unknown 
In would probably be simpler
To break the zodiac code

So on and on this goes
My nails chewed to the nub
This thing has me beat 
I'm so close to giving up 

Then like a knight of old
In some chivalrous act
My daughter takes the control
And finds it in 2 seconds flat

I pretend I knew what she did
I'm trying hard to look cool
Hoping she did not notice
That the remote had me fooled

          Miss my kids. They reset all the digital clocks after the electricity goes off. Nicely done.

            Haha my kids had to show me how to set up Skype so I can talk them when they're at Uni. Thanks for the great comment Augustus!
