The Idiot And The Box Comments

It stands between you and life Claiming time that belongs to your wife The potato and his couch Married life says - ouch. This is my favourite stanza, love the poem

she might decide to live with the box and throw the idiot away coming from a man, very impressive. why do men surf channels, when actually they don't watch anything but grim news, i often ask my friends. you know what women want, yet... vey funny. its such a pleasure to read your work. Mamta

I liked this the first time I read it. My dad used to call our television the 'idiot box' and that's what made me read it the first time. In the 3rd line from the bottom, did you mean to spell becos that way? Do you mean 'because'? Not trying to edit your work, just wondering about it? DC

A pun on TV or me with a good last line...The use of mobile phone talk i.e u and ur does not befit your class of poetry...regards

A nice satire on the TV and the house wife. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The last two lines are the punch lines. Kudos.

Hahaha, very well explained about a husband kinda sorta involved and more into watching tv the last 4 lines made me laugh from the importance everyone should remember Chose life or the box because if she has her day she might choose the box; and throw the idiot away
