The TV Cable Bill Goes Up Again

A bigger charge for poorer service.

The TV Cable Bill Goes Up Again

 

By Elton Camp

 

When towns allow creation of a monopoly,

Its prices will always rise, just wait and see

 

Television cable companies are a good example

They have a cost that, for service, is fully ample

 

But they continually are looking for some ruse

An ever-escalating monthly charge to excuse

 

We can’t pay only for the channels that we pick

Selling them in bundles is their dirty little trick

 

So, in order to get the channels that I like best,

I have to pay for a whole bunch that I detest

 

And almost every time that we have some wind

For many days the cable service will be off again

 

The next time the price rises I may fill my wish

And have installed my own home satellite dish

 

If enough business the cable company does lose

To listen to reason they may well cease to refuse
