Life via Remote Control

Folder: 
Humor

Life revolves around commerical breaks,

Even for food it is from the 'Quick Takes'.

The telly has become our clock

We follow our series like sheep in a flock.



It is our company at night

we get comfort from its light.

The announcers drone on about things droll

We don't get up, we use remote control.



No wonder americans are so fat,

We really need to change all  that.

Hide the remote and get out and walk,

Stop by a neighbor and just talk.



If you stay in and telly you must see,

Get up and change channels the way it used to be.

The movement will do you good,

Give up your remote, you know you should..

Remote control is a comfortable mechanism as long we know our limitations. Getting fat is because of our manipulated food that fill our stomach hole but not satisfy our 'feel' leaving us lust for more though the stomach on the whole up to the brim - is full...

I agree, but lucky for me, I'm not that addicted to TV. I'd rather much read a book...much more satisfying.
