Question

and children hitting you with sticks
fear not, because we promise you
that, in about a week or two
of having nothing else to do,
they'll now begin to feel the need
of having something to read
and once they start- oh boy, oh boy!
you watch the slowly growing joy
that fills their hearts, they'll grow so keen
they'll wonder what they'd ever seen
in that ridiculous machine
that nauseating, foul, unclean
repulsive television screen!
and later, each and evry kid
will love you more for what you did​
