The idiot box
Does not have a lid
Some say it is a jar
Or a door left ajar
For jar heads
The boob tube
With talking heads
You can turn it off

Great job with all the idioms. BTW, did Maggie die from smoking too much Chronic?

  I don’t know. Very few tombstones list a cause of death. I asked Rod Stewart about this. He said, “I won’t, but Maggie May.”

Reminds me of the Ooompa Loompas singing about Mike Teevee in, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” Your photos always add an extra element of pleasure and depth to each piece you present. Love your work. :)

Ooo. I like the last line. It’s something we say all the time, but as the final line in a written piece, it reads pretty poignantly, dontcha think? Nice job.
