Headline tickers.
Commentary.
Antique pickers.
Guys named Larry.

Watchin’ “Cops” &
Midnight riders.
Pastry shops &
Fire-fighters.

Deadly catches.
Dives & Diners.
Marriage matches.
Crisp one-liners.

Overhaulin’
Outer Space.
Joseph Stalin.
“Can’t keep pace!”

Little brain about to burst:
“Can’t miss that show on Patty Hearst!”
Proper ways of making mutton?
Third repeat of “Benji Button”?

Headline tickers.
Halle Barry.
Silent flickers.
Moe & Larry.

Chasing Ghosts.
Girls named Miley.
Funny roasts.
Bill O’Reilly.

Who makes these shows to fill the time?
Where cooks eat bugs & kids get slimed?
Madmen from the great beyond?
With witch’s brew & magic wands?

We’ll soon be run
By Cable-masters;
Souls made numb
By sonic-blasters.

Who will change
Our Channels then?
Zombie-Mamas?
Kids named Ken?

Ah, alas!
The end is here:
No more Cable;
Out of Beer.
