The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set-----
Or better still, just don't install

we've watched them gaping at the screen
They loll and slop and lounge about,
And stare until their eyes pop out.

Until they're absolutely drunk
With all that shocking ghastly junk.
