Remote controls are funny things

Then, maybe it’s just me

I wave it around for hours

But, still can’t get channel three

It will always find the menu

For the treble and the bass

If remote controls were human

I would slap them in the face

Remote controls are not my thing

Perhaps its my technique

If they could make one voice controlled

I’d only have to speak

It would follow my instructions

And obey them to the letter

A voice controlled remote control

Things couldn’t get much better

I’d shout out my instructions

“Change the channel, fifty four

The volumes far too low now

Turn the sound up, give me more”

If they made this little gadget

There is just one thing I’m fearing

That knowing my track record

I’d get one that’s hard of hearing
