I'll tell you the story of Jimmy Jet
And you know what I tell you is true
.He loved to watch his TV set almost as much as you.
He watched all day, he watched all night
till he grew pale and lean.
From the Early Show to The Late Late Show
And all the Shows between.
He watched till his eyes were frozen wide
And his Bottom grew into his chair
And his chin turned into a tuning dial,
And an atennae grew out of his hair
And his brains turned into TV tubes
And his face to a TV screen
And two knobs saying "vert." and "Horiz."
Grew where his ears had been.
And he grew a plug that looked like a tail
So we plugged in little Jim.
And now instead of him watching TV
We all sit around and watch him.

Count That Day Lost
By George Eliot
If you sit down at set of sun
and count the acts that you have done,
and in counting find one self-denying deed, one word
that eased the heart of him who heard
one glance most kind that fell like sunshine where it went
then you may count that day well spent
But if through all the livelong day,
you've cheered no heart by yea or nay
if, through it all
you've nothing done that you can trace
that brought the sunshine to one face
no act most small
that helped some soul and nothing cost
then count that day as worst than lost.
