T.V. Boy
There was a boy who watched
T.V. all day.
He never stopped,
Not even to play.
He sat and he stared
Transfixed on the screen,
Not even blinking, less
He miss the next scene.
“Dinner time,” his
Mother would yell.
But he was too focused
On the screen to
Notice the smell.
Day after day,
And show after show,
The glowing box was
All that he knew.
“Clean your room
And wash your nose.”
“In a minute mom,
Just a couple of more shows.”
Then one day the t.v.
Flickered and stopped.
“What happened,” the boy said,
Staring blankly at the box.
“I’ve unplugged the t.v.,
His mother said.
I’m glad to hear you talk
I thought you were dead!”
“But mom, I just wanted
To watch one more show.”
“Well that's what you told
Me fifteen years ago.
And you’re still here,
Staring at the screen.
It’s time to leave the
House, you’re now 18!”
