Edleweiss3,
I love your poem! It's neater than green sneakers!

TV, hey?

The first TV I seem to recall,
Was back in the 50s,
When I wasn't very tall.

A picture black 'n white,
And a screen not that wide,
Our homestead had but one,
It was all a farmer could abide.

Grandpa and I watched Gunsmoke,
Where Dodge City and Dillion,
Grappled cowpokes 'n horses,
While gunslingers kept on killin'.

Me, I Loved Lucy,
She put on quite a show,
I laughed 'til I cried,
Seein' Lucy all aglow.

TVS are now thinner,
And large as can be,
Seen em' hung on a wall,
Installed in cars and SUVs.

But this I'll contend,
Even today it seems true,
Lucy's comic relief,
Is the best programming aired,
For the likes of me and you.

New words:
Horses, camels, desert, heat

But if you wish, you're welcome
to choose 4 other words, you think
are cool 'n neat!
