Answer 1

Oh yes, we know it keeps them still,

They don’t climb out the window sill,

They never fight or kick or punch,

They leave you free to cook the lunch

And wash the dishes in the sink

Answer 2

hey here is ur answer!!

television by Dahl is a long didactic poem written in a light tone with a message that it is relevant in our times . It is an earnest appeal to parents to wean their children away from watching television to reading of books . In their craze for the ' idiot box ' , children have lost their innocence . They have become unruly and disobedient. They are no longer interested in the world of fantasy in children's stories. The poet is saddened that watching TV in excess makes children dull and unimaginative. So the parents must throw the TV set out of their homes and should replace it by a set of books. They will at first face bitter opposition but later they will be thanked for this thoughtful , good action. Dhal's opposition to TV watching is because of its being a passive process during which we are not actively engaged with the material as we are during the process of reading. This passivity makes our brain slow and strained.
