The depth of children's TV

What a disillusion we offer children when
We turn on the TV and immediately show
The love affair of Minnie and Mickey. We
Change the channel so they can see
Other children playing grown-up pranks,
And I believe there's one show that has
A character who is just a plank, of wood I
Mean, that's a not a metaphor, that kind
Of technique would be no use to a child
Who's barely turned four. What really
Frustrates me is the portrayal of love,
That cartoons make out to have the grace
Of dove rather than the growl of a
Beast, that will attack your heart like its
Favourite feast. Apparently it's just a
Case of falling asleep, and then into your
Life Prince Charming will creep, he'll kiss
Your dry lips and whisk you away and
He'll love you dearly for each following
Day. Then there's Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
Let down your hair, kids should know in
Reality there would be no man there.
Reality really offers something else, that
Leaves your questioning your very own
Self-wealth; it's merely heartache to
Watch romantic, children's TV, it simply
Sets you up for romance that will cease
To be. I think it's safe to say the likes of
Me have been damaged for life by
Disney TV. Now I'll sit and watch Cinderella,
And wait for Prince Charming again.
Take note of this moral, dear children.

The End.
