Television{80's & 90's}

Remember the shows and movie reels
you watched in your childhood?
With nothing better here to write
I thought... the subject good

You, might just be a little old
or of a different grade
Well...this one goes for all the "rugs"
who came from my decade

---

I do recall an olden show, formed with a strange alliance
A beauty queen..a time-machine..? oh yeah, it was Weird Science

There was this little mastermind
Who disliked baggy trousers
I do believe, a bit inclined..
His name was Doogie Howser

And don't forget that twisting road
In grand ol' Wonder Years
I think the final episode
Had brought me close to tears

Saved by the Bell and 210
They filled our day with drama
And then there was this dinosaur
Who's phrase was "Not the Mama"!

Night Rider was the thing to watch
..Just for the talking car
I didn't care for Hasselhoff
He wasn't so, The Star

Monster Trucks and wrestling
They were an awesome tandem
Just flicking channels back and forth
Eyes marveling, at random

Power Rangers, VR Troopers
Weren't so my type
Back then, i thought the Teletubs'
Could beat them in a fight

Don't know how many times i saw
The NeverEnding Story
Oh how they over-played that slaw..
Trapped in it's allegory

I'd rather watch the Lion King
One zillion times again
Ah what the heck.. throw Bambi in
And make my pupils spin

Remembering how the teacher made
Us watch the "Little Toaster"
Beleaguered, by it's masquerade...
Oh how we'd love to roast her

Anyways, I'll stop it here.......
I know I'm getting silly
Don't want to say how many times
I dreamed about Free Willy

There are some others i've not named
And thus, have failed to mention
I'm sorry that i've ached your brain
And held you in retention
