Just watching TV
I am just watching TV
And pretending doing something worthwhile in stead
Procrastinating and thinking what could be
But these comedies make me forget and just smile
Don’t judge for being so lazy
Accomplishing absolutely nothing
But sometimes the in this whirlwind so hazy
You need a little time off and just sit listening
To the Television
May not give you a vision
But ideas can grow
Even, if once in a while
You take it slow

Or even the Magna Carta
Your voice a lullaby

“We owe a lot to Thomas Edison
– if it wasn’t for him,
we’d be watching television by candlelight”
Milton Berle
World Television Day
Where would we be
Without our TV
No one or nothing
To guide us
Shining the light on us
The knowledge and wisdom shared
For no one can be spared
From the power of
Television
Long live Television
Our one and true vision 😉

by people you wouldn’t have in your home”

“I am a doctor, not a magician!” Leonard McCoy
Homage to DeForest Kelley (1920-1999)
I am a doctor, not a doorstop
I can go on nonstop
I am a miracle worker
Maybe even a tearjerker
Concocting cures for all ailments
I have the treatments
No matter if my patients
Be alien or human
Even if the Yeoman
Came down with the flu
I have the cure and the clue
On what to do
So maybe I am a magician
The premium edition
And even that green blooded
Gosh, darn, crud it…Vulcan
Has to admit it
And I am loving every damned minute!

James Earl Jones
Happy 86th Birthday James Earl Jones!
A voice like thunder
Presence filled with wonder
From pre-med
On to the stage
Many a great characters
Taking us into adventures
But lucky were us nerds
When the voice of Darth Vader we heard
Other than that?
Well, of course, many happy returns!

Loved you in Claudius
Adored you in Octavius
Excellent performance in Cadfael
Utterly radiant in Halifax
