I have a little Sony, it?s a Trinitron you see My son came round on Thursday and he foisted it on me It?s a lovely little telly and it has its own remote But its analogue, not digital, and worth precisely nowt.
I?ll put it in the kitchen or the dining room perhaps I?ll put it in the bedroom to wake me from my naps I could put it in the office to distract me from my toil But I?d have to buy a set top box to make it work at all.
I could use it as a footstool or perhaps a little table Or a thing that might one day perhaps possibly enable Me, or someone close to me, to make a bit of cash (There?s lots of crazy Japanese who?ll surely make a dash
To get a bit of national pride, ignoring the details Which are that this most lovely set was really made in Wales.) Meanwhile it sits and blocks the way along my downstairs hall I stub my toe; I curse and swear, I trip and sometimes fall.
The Media Museum said, ?No thanks, we?ve got sixteen!? I wondered about eBay but it isn?t worth a bean The bin men wouldn?t take it: what is their rationale? So as a desperate last resort I?ve lobbed it in t?canal!
