Binge TV

Bought my massive bar of chocolate

And intend to scoff the lot of it

Got my popcorn, crisps and cup of tea

Sprawled out upon our large settee

Make no attempt to contact me

I'm set to go - it's binge TV

Sat expressionless and hypnotised

Mainly motionless and marble-eyed

I've drawn the curtains, shut the door

Stuck on a sign that says “Ignore!”

While you tell me I'm just a bore

As I binge my TV once more

Doing nothing else - my single goal

Tightly gripping the remote control

I eat my dinner - tray on lap

I never stop to shower or nap

With programmes flowing like a tap

Ensnared in that binge TV trap

I watch movies, I watch series too

Eighty episodes wait in a queue

Lined up then falling row by row

An endless set of dominoes

I could be dead! But who would know?

It's time to binge another TV show...
