Ode to TV

my TV decided to day that it no longer wants to  talk to me
but that is OK, as you sit there with a blank face
I will just think of all the times you sent me love or
of the warm embraces you had  showing on your face


Now all I can see is a cold gray screen on a warm box
as you sputter and flash lights from the pictures
you now conceal from within, along with all the voices
silenced forever more


When the moment is right,  and I have mourned enough
I will rise from my chair, shutting you down for the last time
not shed one tear, and head for the mall to replace you dear

Great write Cheryl. It's awesome what one little bolt of lightning can do to a TV. This time it just temporarily scrambled its colors. Kind of an interesting effect, like getting a free animated rainbow playing on all the faces. Then I unplugged, plugged, and it was back to its old time-stealing self. Aw shucks. LOL

Ha ha! This was excellent! I once had someone tell me to take a stack of books and step up and down on them in front of the tv for 1/2 hour or while I watched... it became routine, a week later... I decided there were better things to do than TV :) I realized how much time I had been wasting .. and thought of how clean the house should have been..........lol ;)

Thank you,
Emilie
