Christmas for TV viewers

'Twas the night before Christmas
and the satellite dish
was receiving the programs
to fulfill every wish.

There were gardening networks
and ones about law,
and all of the sports
any fan ever saw.

And they drifted in piles
to glut the TV:
hey, here is a rerun
from seventy-three.

As movies were shown
with violence and sex
whether they're rated
an "R" or an "X."

There is science and knowledge
and religious shows, too,
to improve what you think
and the things that you do.

Would you tune to the junk
or switch to the good?
It's not very hard
to tell which one you should.

On the night before Christmas,
give yourself this:
the power to "off"
what you'll never miss

If you do that right now,
then nineteen-nine-eight
will turn out to be
a year greater than great.
