Answer:
summary of TV
In the house
of Mr and Mrs Spouse
he and she
would watch teevee
and never a word
between them spoken
unit the day
the set was broken.
Then 'How do you do?'
said he to she
'I don't believe
that we've met yet.
Spouse is my name.
What's yours?' he asked.
'Why, mine's the same!'
said she to he,
'Do you suppose that we could be - ?'
But the set came suddenly right about,
and so they never did find out.
Explanation:
The experience my wife and I are through right now is well captured in this poem. We enjoy watching shows like Fearless Planet, Boston Legal, and Taiwan political news. Anything deserving of our entire attention that is more intriguing than our local products. Unfortunately, we are communicating with one another less and less frequently.
The TV remote control is yet another significant concern. Whoever has control over it, in our opinion, is the master or mistress of the home. It is true that this seemingly innocuous object truly represents power. Whoever holds it gets to choose the 4–5 hours' worth of programming that the other person must watch. That means no more History Channel, Dogfights, etc., and only shows on shoes, shopping, purses, fashion, etc., with the TV remote firmly in her palm.
Although it is frustrating, our situation actually does not have an easy fix. I wonder if the local Family Service Center will take my case, "My wife restricted my independence by keeping the TV remote in her possession. I need you to retrieve it from her. Hmm.
However, perhaps what we truly need is to spend quality time together, such as by going to the movies, the library, or perhaps buying for a bigger TV. Yes, I do enjoy the concept of a larger TV.
