I Can't Find the Remote

Today I had the pleasure of watching my kids go BONKERS when they couldn't find the remote. I was inspired! So I wrote the following during the Redskins/Tampa game today.... I Can’t Find the Remote!

I can’t find the remote and this isn’t a joke!
And the channel is stuck and I think I will croak!
‘Cause my Dad was last watching financial TeeVee,
and the channel is stuck on this CNBC.
Which is boring to me! Oh why can’t the TeeVee,
have been stuck on a channel like Nick or Disney.
Where there’s Spongebob or Jessie or Liv & Maddie,
oh right now I’m so mad at my dear old Daddy!

And this sure isn’t fair ‘cause I’ve looked everywhere,
the remote has just vanished right into thin air.
I’ve turned over the table and moved all the chairs.
Made a mess in the kitchen! The bathroom! The stairs!
I’ve thrown all of the pillows right off of the couch,
and when Mom sees this mess I know she’ll be a grouch.
But it’s worth it you see and I know she’ll agree,
that you need a remote when you watch a TeeVee.

HUH?

You mean to tell me that I just need to stand,
walk up to the TeeVee and just use my hand,
and push a small button to change the channel,
found right on the front of the TeeVee’s panel?

Well that’s not how it’s done in 2014!
You must have the remote while you stare at the screen!
So I’ll search and I’ll search and I’ll soon squeal with glee,
when I find the remote and can then watch TeeVee! 

(Confession: I'm no different. I'll spend an hour looking for the remote instead of just walking over to the TV to change the channel myself. LOL! Am I the only one?)
