Television

Brain-drainer

Bordain cussing, inbreeds fussing

Bieber sports new "do"

Ice road truckers, pawnshop suckers

Lohan lost her shoe

 

Retarded shows for peanut brains

Keep us nice and dumb

Think I’ll stand out in the rain

And gnaw off both my thumbs

Author's Note

I pay good money for cable tv, but seldom can find anything that's fit to watch.

so do i, and they are replacing all the good kind of shows with reality tv series...and Inside Edition which tells us everything we really didn't want to know about our entertainers...all i care about is that they entertain us.

cable is very expensive for what we get...only a handful of good shows anymore.

i grew up in the 50's and 60's...all the classic tv...where has it gone?

i really like the phrasing in this piece...

glad i found it.

Thanks a lot, Jacob. I'm sixty-four, so you and I probably watched a lot of the same stuff. Quality on tv is hard to come by anymore.

"When i'm sixty-four!"

i'll be in two years...and yes, it is.

I love it! Everything from the words you used and the content of the poetry :) You know what you are talking about.

Totally agree with you sam, most TV is mind numbing, rather have a good book. Merry christmas to you and yours.

Ha this is great. The dumbing down of America by TV. Don't you just love the Kardashians, or is that even how you spell their name? I don't think it really matters because they probably don't know either.

Lol .. I hear you ! Could not sleep last night, surfed, could not find one good thing to watch ! ... I ended up watching "House Hunters" .. Rich people trying to find a home in Italy .. It was heartbreaking .. NOT ! ..

TAKE CARE .. Jasmine :)

I haven't seen television for years and I don't miss it. My mother called, some years ago, and I was crying. When she inquired as to the cause of my sadness, I replied that it was the television news. Her advise; don't watch it anymore.

Therefore, your references to apparent television shows eludes me and people's references to celebrities in general; however, I simply don't care. I know who I am, what happened to me today, when I did the things that I did, where I am, how I am doing and why.

Have a great holiday season! Keep your thumbs, though, or you will have a rough time holding the remote control device!!

A splendid and jovial write!!!
