Couch Potato
01-01-04
A remote in the right hand, a bag of chips clung by other, a daily occurrence observed, taught by the father or mother,
a natural shelve to hold his beer, a raggedy tee-shirt and a man without cheer,
stains down the front but he lost all care, wears the same shirt tomorrow, walking nightmare,
life in front of the big screen, its the only world he knows, his wife has dropped to his level, she puts on her buffet clothes,
Two depressed people with life pulled from their soul, three innocent children learning their parents roll,
Food and TV time has become the life they provide, while others seek out different destinations, enjoying the roller coaster ride,
They pass by the buffet area and try some fine cuisine, they’re energized from the place they’ve just been,
Me, im the latter, I skip the fried foods, pass up the fried batter,
Once in awhile i'll have a bit, but I always make sure my life doesn’t revolve around it,
If people could open their eyes and see what they could do, Id be willing to bet they’d be as happy as me and you,
Now I could always be happier and share the great thrill, because two together makes life’s mountains more of an easy trip downhill...
