Journey to a far off land, Forget about events transpired Stare into the bright lit tube Powered through its wires Click the switch, surf the waves Before deciding on a channel That allows you to open up your mind Never more than you can handle Relax Grab a snack Sit there in your underwear for all I care Ponder life's mystique Let your worries drip away With your drivel as you sleep Covet every moment Every sitcom and commercial No matter how risqué Or otherwise controversial Laugh until your hearts content Clap when the audiences cheer That you should become part of the culture Surrounded by your peers Cry with every parting Of favorite characters parts portrayed The actors most relatable The true "stars" of the trade For tomorrow is another day To face the daily grind No fast forwarding through the days events Or pausing, until quitting time   Set the DVR, to view at some other time Shut your eyes and get some rest Or Netflix and chill and hit rewind Play back every missed detail You somehow overlooked Or better yet, hit the on/off switch And open up a book.

Netflix and Chill

This poem may get revised, but I like the concept a lot. Needs some tweaking IMO.
