TV is the devil o yea
It leads us into temptation.
That devious device we invite into
our homes to
sit in the corner and batter us with
crass comments and insidious urgings.
It says the kingdoms of sports,
movies and crime drama
will be ours if only we fall down
and worship it.
Its forked tongue turns us from
participants to observers
in the dance of life.
Every night it comes bearing news,
but even this serves only to
depress and fill us with fear
and a sense of hopelessness in a
world out of control.
TV is the devil o yea.
The microwave is Lazarus o yea
It brings food which is stiff and
cold
back to life, to be enjoyed once
more.
The dishwasher is John The Baptist
o yea
It cleanses our plates and glasses
And washes their unholiness away.
The refrigerator is Noah’s Ark o
yea
Into this vessel go the chickens
and the fishes
and the lambs and the bacons and
the beefs and the turkeys
that would otherwise surely perish.
The sink is Pontious Pilate o yea
Where we wash our hands of all that
ails us.
The radio is Jesus o yea
So let’s gather round and
listen.
I like tv. I'm wotching it right now :) but im wotching abc, so its not too hardcore. Actually Channel 10 gives me a headache. Why do they make those colours so bright? Anyway. I'm surprised you even have a refrigerator Steve. I was thinking about whether it was possible to live without one, but i'd like to buy meat on special. Is that so passe of me? I buy free range low carbon kangaroo fillets after all! Also then where would you get ice cubes for mango smoothies from? You've got to consider these things....
ReplyDeletehahaha, i don't know what to say exactly. How about, 'nice comment'. Yes you do have to consider those things, and many others besides.
Deleteclassic steve! classic. gather round and listen indeed! anon does have a point about mango smoothies though.... but i reckon a fresh mango would do just fine. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. Mango time is upon us!
DeleteI had a fresh mango for dinner FYI. Im not all bout the smoothie exclusivity, or anything....AND i didnt wotch any tv today AT ALL, thank you very much :) are you proud?
DeleteI love reading what everyone else says... life ain't simple, is it. We all see things through our own lenses and that's a good thing I reckon. Makes it all more fun
ReplyDeleteand problematic but interesting. For me, I would not be without my TV or frig. Tv widens my understanding of the world.. so many amazing programmes about things I would otherwise know nothing. and my frig? How 'bout a cold
glass of white wine at the end of a loong hot day/ week??
