Television- An Idiot Box
Rightfully said - Television is an idiot box!
For all time consuming activities, it tops!!
The Twenty first Century necessary evil,
All sit glued to it without reason, feeble
Advertisements abundant - mobile, cereal
The afternoon soap saga, all have sequel
News channels, all an eyewash, debacle
Talk shows, discussions and the cackle
Addicted to the live shows or cartoons
Be it summer, winter or monsoon
Youngsters are becoming potato couch
Funny gait, walking with a slouch
Beware!! Its a make believe world
Fabricated information are swirled
