21. Our TV Set Was Black And White
Our TV set was black and white
And on its spindly legs it stood;
More deep than wide with dials that clicked,
All curved glass screen and grain of wood.

They said I was an "old fart"
But I hardly think that's true
My boobs were done in '75
But my teeth and knees are new.

I was heading south to the city's biggest shopping center
To get a steak and other things that I could eat for dinner.
Then I noticed, luckily, I was nearly out of gas.
So, I headed for the Stall-Mart store out near the overpass.
Yeah, it did. It's called a cliff hanger, so all in all they did have a proper ending. *shrug
Pretty little high heels,
How you look so grand.
I can remember when I wore you
And I could proudly stand.
So now he has had his eyes done,
and at last he can see,
but I was a bit worried,
this poem is great, I would say..
I loved it a lot, we need a poem for our project and I chose this one..thanks a lot..it's funny
I thought I knew colors.
Aren't they red, green and blue?
I know white, black and grey,
Purple, pink and yellow too.
I really enjoyed this poem because it rings so true. I don't know how people can tell the slight differences between colors. It's like a language I can't really understand or relate to.
(sung to the tune of "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year") - with apologies to Andy Williams
It's the most fattening time of the year
There'll be pizza and dim sum, oh yes, please, I'll have some

I'm buzzing around your room
I'm buzzing in the air
I know I'm really annoying
I prefer bald heads to hair
That was a good laugh - more, please, to brighten up my days. All the best, Ann
I see you standing there.
I feel your eyes on me.
I resume my tasks, but there you are.
Famous Poem
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there 's a pair of us — don't tell!
They 'd banish us, you know.
I've got my driving test today,
Am I worried? O sure, I would say,
And I know that I really look a fright,
I have not slept a wink all night,
I remember it well! You have captured it all beautifully. Very best wishes, Ann.
A sleek and smart device,
Is taking everything out.
Little things and big things,
It's looking more like a rout.
