Just for Fun.

Couch Potato.

Sitting in the lounge room,
Staring at a screen,
A useless couch potato,
See's all but never seen,

A life not lived between the shows,
And all the dreary ads,
Alone and so invisible,
Would drive most people mad,

Though this is what they chose,
To do with their whole life,
To never go have fun,
To never find a wife,

So what is it that caused this,
Such a waste of their potential,
A life half lived inside a screen,
A wasted lonesome downfall,

It started with curiosity,
And then became a habit,
His shows he had to see each week,
Or else he would turn rabid,

And like the Borg say on Star Trek,
With their way of life so brutal,
Once he was hooked by science fiction,
Then "Resistance Is Futal".
