My television wouldn't work.
I went and bought Big Other.
I watched the triumph of The Crows,
In splendid, vivid colour.
I watched a hired DVD:
Matt Dillon in his prime.
I then put on 'The West Wing':
Sound, no picture showed this time.
I take it all back to the shop
Where quite soon we can take succour:
It's my player on the blink;
Big Other simply much too big
For my old mother......
i was doing pretty well until i hit the last two lines, which i don't understand. is mothersomething different in Australia from what it is in U.S.? ? bri :) i'm also not sure about Big Other unless it means a 'larger' TV, perhaps of a different model than one has been using. am i close? bri :)

I would like to translate this poem
Humorous and also a poem which those who rent videos can easily identify with. I am one.
