Analysis of TV For Me



TV for me as a child, was much different than TV today.  
With a screen that was much less black and white and quite a bit more just gray.

A dial that chunked when you spun it, unless your family owned their own clicker.
But just let me note, I became the remote,
whenever the picture would flicker.

We had a Plethora of channels to choose from, first three and then we had four.
And two chairs for parents to sit on, and for children an entire floor.

Like magic the signal would travel, for miles right over the air.
To send us pictures of people with snow, and volumes that faded then blared.

But now our TVs have progressed, with channel selection top notch.  
Now hundred of channels to choose from, but not one single thing we can watch.
