Raised on TV

Just a little something I jotted down.

When I was young, I grew up with TV,

Sitcoms, soap operas, and cartoons were it for me.

I mean chilling out max and relaxing all cool,

I used to watch the Fresh Prince right after school.

They would take me to another place, take me to another land,

And watch me dance like Carlton.

It was a simpler time for me back then,

I often look back at the cartoon, like, remember when?

Remember when Scrooge McDuck went back in time?

Or when Gizmo Duck foiled the Beagle boys that one time?

I recall trying to bounce here, there, and well everywhere,

After watching too many episodes of The Gummi Bears.

Mixing Kool Aid, and Squeeze its, sure was a first,

That’s what I get for trying to make Gummi Bear juice to quench my thirst.

That’s nothing compared to when I tried to put a jacket on a chipmunk,

I wanted to make real Rescue Rangers, thought it was a slam dunk.

My imagination would often get the better of me,

I just wanted the friends that were on my TV.

Turns out as you imagine the animals never talked,

I mean if they ever did, my world would have been rocked.

As you can see I was raised on TV,

And I tell you what, it sure still means a lot to me.
