Point Of View

I watch a lot of TV but I don’t have tubular eyes.
I do not see the world as screen; so it still holds some surprise.

I never was taught or told that I should be a go-getter.
In my formative years the set was called “the babysitter”.

So, most of what I thought was something my eyes & ears took in.
For, the acts of the adults around were worse than Zenith’s din.

Scores of years of aftermath have all been “brought” to me by “this”.
I learned about important things like music & brands; what bliss!

The diligent writers of programs don’t offer prophecy.
They produced situations & I figured out who I’d be.
