I recall a time
When what I got in the mail
Was something besides
The latest sale
Sometimes a card
Or even better
Someone who had
Written me a letter
Email followed
A similar route
Little to keep
So much to throw out
Prior to HDTV
Gaining HD
And before cable
Was on the table
Things got started
With Fred and Ethel Mertz
Where hypnosis began
At thirty Hertz
Attention gained
Eyes bloodshot
Free will and thinking
Gone to pot
Glass-eyed zombies
Around the nation
Hardly even
Changed the station
Now people today
Stand transfixed
Awaiting iOS
Twenty six
Sigh
