Her best friend is the telly

Here is another very poignant poem written by Teresa Harrison-Best …

HER BEST FRIEND IS THE TELLY

Her best friend is the telly,
it gets her through the day.
It talks at her from dawn to dusk
in a funny sort of way.

The telly tells her secrets
just like a loyal friend.
How to book a trip online,
the money she should spend.

She hardly sees a human,
unless they’re on the box.
The only other sound she hears,
a chiming from her clock.

She’d always been gregarious,
the life and soul they’d say.
But now she watches all the soaps,
no matter, come what way!

Each day is filled with daytime shows
and many old repeats.
After lunch she has a doze
her a little post lunch treat.

So why she spends each day like this ?
A story that’s untold.
Perhaps it’s ‘cause she has no choice
as she is getting old!
