The Twenty-Third Channel
By Philip Day
The TV is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
It makes me lie down on the sofa,
It destroys my soul.
It leads me in the path of sex and violence
For the sponsor's sake.
Yea, though I walk
In the shadow of Christian responsibilities,
There will be no interruption,
There will be no interruption,
For the TV is with me.
Its cable and remote,
They comfort me.
It prepares a commercial for me
In the presence of all my worldliness.
It anoints my head with
Humanism and consumerism.
My coveting runneth over.
Surely laziness and ignorance
Shall follow me
All the days of my life.
And I shall dwell in the house
Watching TV forever.
