While I Was Watching Tv Poem by Jon Yttri

While I Was Watching Tv



While you were mastering your knuckleball,
I was watching TV.
While you were practicing Grieg on your piano,
I was watching TV.
While you were in your ballet costume practicing pirouettes,
I was watching TV.
While you were rehearsing the Hamlet soliloquoy,
I was watching TV.
While you were earning your Master of Business Administration Degree at Duke University,
I was watching TV.
I entered the 24th Annual National Television Trivia Contest
And was awarded the $50,000 first prize.
Don't you wish you invested in your time wisely by watching television
Instead of wasting it?
