Analysis of Television versus the piano



As the evening unfolds as the lights come on
Families round the piano,singing there favourite song
Dinner was a social thing, there we all eagerly sat
a silvery television screen,seemed to killed all that
No more conversation must not make no more noise
What did happen to all our homemade wooden toys
All this useless information now that we have received
In watching television have we been slightly deceived
As the evening unfolds as the lights come on
The bright screen beckons us the piano just a bygone
