Leave It To Beaver Censored Poem by Ima Ryma

1957 first aired
Leave it to Beaver T.V. show.
Mom June and Dad Ward parents paired
With sons Beav and and Wally, big bro.
Controversy - first episode
'Bout a gator named Captain Jack.
The boys put Jack in the commode.
Network censors launched an attack.
Can't show a toilet on T.V.
The viewing public would be crushed.
National scandal there would be.
The very thought had to be flushed.

But then a compromise got cleared.
Only the toilet tank appeared.
