Cable

The garbled waves of make pretend
that carry pitches shysters send
used to travel through the air
to anyone, anywhere--
a spiny piece of metal set
upon the roof and angled let
a snowy face at last be seen
emitted by that glowing screen
which called the family to convene
but now the robbers truly get
the most invasive signal yet
that straps you to your easy chair
(of course with beer and munchies there)
programming you with the latest trend
they keep the tether taut my friend.
