Ole to the Boob Tube

You were old. No one remembers when we bought you. You came into our home for a time.

When we moved across the sea, you came with us. You served us here tho' your numbers were off and your picture was dark.

We learned to deal with your many buttons and knobs. Tho' we didn't like it as there were so many involved. Then one day something happened. We often wondered if it would. You stopped working. You're light went out, then your sound. And oh... what joy!

We moved you from your spot up high to a place down low. When the moving was finally done we were glad to see you gone.

And were even doubly glad to see your replacement settle in! It is bright and shiny and loud and clear. We will treasure this new one and look forward to all the new things it will show us.
