Our children don't know what they miss..while glued to the TV!


Poem Artwork


The cable went out today
And my children began to play!
I mean REALLY play

They did not argue
They did not fight
They even imagined
They were birds in flight!

They laughed and sang
And joked around
I never heard a negative sound

And so at least for today
I got to watch my children play
No MTV
No ABC
No Nick at Night
Did we see
I dare not tell them
The cable came back on
Because this would all be gone

It is a tragedy in my eyes that children are losing the desire to play, to imagine, to have fun together. I honestly think we were better off without today's marvels of technology.
