The idiot box!

No modern home is complete without the provision

Without our good old friend — the television

Vivid images and multitudes of personalities

From fictions, semi-fictions to complete realities…..

Everything is there for you to see

All bonds of imagination it does break free

It keeps you updated about you and around you

And helps to you to catch-up on everything that is new

Not a luxurious commodity, but a basic need

The “idiot box” has become indeed!

A niche inside every home it has remarkably created

The lifeline of the life it continues to be unabated

Considering its immense potential………it does seem to impress

But there are a certain things that do deserve some stress..

In this high paced life…where all one lacks is time

Wasting hours behind the idiot box certainly cannot be prime

And within itself…the TV definitely carries an onus

To provide one with obesity and spectacles as a special bonus

Sitting for hours with eyes glued to the TV

Is indeed a very common thing to see

No doubt it is the best source for entertainment and information

And it does enhance knowledge and imparts education

But up on one’s mind one should try to impress

That everything good turns bad…if done in excess

It is not that the idiot box ought to be completely boycotted or ignored

Coz without it the life of a modern home would definitely seem bored

But it should definitely be kept within its limitations

One should know exactly about where to impose the boundations

A mixture of serials news programs and sports of any kind

Definitely keeps one with an open and healthy mind

But in this machine age and rapidly dynamic era

Where one tends to plan everything and it is not “que sera sera”

One must try to arrange things in such a way

That by all means….things do seem to pay

And all things do turn out to be perfectly fine

If one knows exactly where to draw the line!
