BIG SCREEN AND LITTLE SCREEN

There was a time when I would Watch the Big Screen And before I knew it I would have a terrible craving for
Nembutal Big Screen told me it would make my edges go fuzzy And it did What fun it all was Some days Big Screen would infect me And I'd find myself Rollerskating in white shorts during my period Like a zombie In the evening Big Screen whispered to me That to win my husband's love I should scrub my private parts with Lysol It was a most effective strategy Big Screen became like a lover And I turned up the sound Drowning in Big Screen's voice Until I was so busy watching Big Screen That my husband left me And my white shorts got too tight I was buying too much KFC And scrubbing with Lysol played havoc with my skin Decades have passed And I don't let Big Screen boss me around any more Like he used to
Now I don't let Big Screen tell me what to do I carry Little Screen with me In my pocket And talk to her often She is my best friend With a constant stream Of chatter in my ear I suppose it's just a different Sort of prison Because I can never switch her off
