Ed TV
Ed would sit in front
of the TV all day,
watch repeat after repeat
and never go out and play.
He didn't have friends
and wouldn't do sport,
endless entertainment
his TV had brought.
But Ed was warned
if he watched to much TV,
His eyes would square
and lose functionality.
His eye lids would blister
and his pupils would grow,
His lashed would dread
and his retina would go.
But Ed didn't bother
he loved his TV,
they were inseparable
and joined at the knee.
Then the day came
when Ed felt a twitch,
his skin started to stiffen,
his face started to itch.
But the change wasn't sudden,
it took a short while.
His left ear dropped off
and replaced by a dial.
On his top lip
rested a mole,
which turned and turned into
a volume control.
Ed always knew
his head was quite square,
but he developed right angles
and lost his brown hair.
And finally his eyes
which once gave him sight,
dissolved into crystals
and shone coloured light.
For the new unfortunate boy
now fixed on channel 3,
wouldn't believe the tale
of young Edward TV.
