Hey Couch Potat'A Ditch The Video Games! Poem by Catherine Inscore

Without video games
what did we do?
Jumped rope
Played ball
Made-up games
construction paper
whatever we could find
hanging out at home
meant—
either we were sick or
too much housework!
YUCK!
Not for us…
there was fun to be had
treasures to find
worlds to explore
Obesity
Seen slightly
On Fats
The ONE
Kid
not
about twenty or more
it’s obscene
don’t ya think?
Get up off ya butt!
And just do somethin’
anything ya know!
Besides
video
games
