The Legend Of The Static Monster
As Submitted To the
Message not clear
Can not hear
Or see
What's on Tee
Vee
Wiped the tears
Bought some rabbit ears
Along with long neck beers
Nothing to fear
From the monster creating static
"I have had it"
Worked all night
Twisting, turning, getting antennas right
Static monster loosened its grip
After the channels were flipped
Did I mention?
Stood at attention
Saluting old glory
Not feeling sorry
National Anthem bringing broadcast schedule to a close
No more entertaining informative shows
Instead, the static monster reigns supreme
Serenading the recliner drunken dream
Until the rising sun
And dead air told, 'you are done'
Thinking they are having breakfast with you
Hung over due
To the rabbit ear single
Signal
Presenting everybody happy and bright
All day and night
Clock chimes witch's hour
Static monster unleashes the power
Taking control
Being bold
Then someone throws a switch
'What ads are you going to pitch?'
Static monster exclaims
Dowsing its communication disruption flame
