Oh why do we all watch the tele

When there’s oh such a lot we could do

We could sit we could talk

Go out for a walk, or paddle our own canoe

There’s that book you’ve not read you could call uncle Ted

You could fix the damned tap that keeps leaking

You could lie on the floor and complete the jigsaw

Or oil the hinge that’s still squeaking

Let’s turn the set off, now I know you will scoff

And I know you will start your complaining

Just give it a go, then maybe, ‘fore you know

You will find you won’t need entertaining
