Hear the talking on the set,
T.V. set,
There’s a madness in my future with their talking they beget,
Hear them talking, talking, talking,
In all hours of the night,
Of my sanity are mocking,
Damn infernalness of talking,
Quashing quiet, quiet, quiet,
In a type of verbal riot,
From its discombobulation any longer I can't get,
Talks the set, set, set, set
Set, set, set,
Talks the talking, constant talking of the set.

Hear the boring T.V. set,
Boob tube set,
Foretelling mental breakdown with its boring doth me bet,
Through the soothing calm of night,
How they bore in devil’s bite,
On the little tv screen,
Endless boring
It is maddenly obscene,
While I lie awake to boring of set’s pour,
On the screen
Oh endless bore,
With debates of cacaphony in a constant maddening roar,
It does bore,
It’s a snore,
Breeds a mindless verbal war,
In a wordy metaphor
From the warring of the boring,
On the set, set, set
On the set, set, set
Of the boring, constant warring on the set.

There’s a commentator on the set
What a noisy tv set
With the commentator on the set
As he speaks headaches I get,
Him quashing quiet, quiet, quiet
In a kind of verbal riot
Speaks the commentator on the set
Of the set
Quashing quiet, quiet, quiet
In a kind of verbal riot
To the warring on the set
On the set, set, set,
Boring, warring on the set
Quashing quiet, quiet, quiet
on the set, set, set,
In a kind of verbal riot
To bores warring on the set
On the set, set, set,
Hear the warring on the set
On the set, set, set,
Of talk’s pouring and bore’s warring on the set.

Tim, you had better not ever give up that day job and persue rap but outside of that I totally agree with you, that is why when I veg I watch DVD's.  Cute exercise that.
