If one should visit in my house
They might surely hear me grouse
For if the televisions on
To it I am naturally drawn
And for some reason I relay
Whatever thought I wish to say
Once the show has then begun
Whether new or just re-run
Something takes a hold of me
And because of what I see
I call out to give advice
Or tell them that's overpriced
Or warm them of a lurking soul
Behind them on the lonely stroll
Or tell them the facts are wrong
As they orate to the throng
Even wishing I was mellow
I cannot help to stop the bellow
I do not want for a reply
It's just the nature of this guy
Who cannot seem to help,
Talking to his TV
Peter P. Brown 2011
This brings back memories... of last night... My dad was doing a lot of talking to the TV during The Crucible....
