The Extraordinary Television

A few decades ago, it was black and white,
It has improved so much, what an incredible sight.
A box of technology, a box that entertains,
A common used device, media’s opportunity to persuade.
Audio and visual, a multiple of channels,
Some prefer action, some watch mammals.
Cable, main event, so many upgrades,
The educational channel can grant you better grades.
From Foxtel IQ to high definition,
To have one at home what a good decision.
Kids watch adventure, which makes them go hypo,
Then it makes Mum go absolutely psycho.
When Dad’s team loses, he hits the roof,
I bet Mum is thinking, ‘Oh what a goof!’
This is the future, but you must pay fees,
To see what is happening on your TV.
