Poetic Verses
The Television
Why is it that most of us of the human specie
Would devote lots of time so readily
To acquiring things hoping that this will certainly
Put us in sort of class above somebody.
I can remember this story being told over and over
Which happened sometime during the life of my grandmother
This often flashes across my mind still for a while
And each time it makes me do nothing but smile
There was these two cousins who were very competive
Bettering each other seemed to be the only objective
If one had bought something,one can be sure
The other would look for a better quality and buy even more
The both lived in a distant part of the country
Which at that time was not blessed with a particular utility
The time came when one of the bought a truck
This the other with jealousy got struck.
He said this time i am going in a new direction
My diversion would be to purchase a television
This is something quite new to the land
And I will invite he and manyfriend to come and have a viewing
He made his puchase and he did it quite publicly
On that day people flocked to see and what a party
There was a quiet and the all settle down looking so expectantly
Then someone said to him, "John you know this area has no electricity."
