The Dvd Player.(Haiku) . Poem by Michael Walker

My Blu-ray DVD player says 'hello' when I switch it on, and 'bye' just before I turn it off-charming. I sleep alone, so the player seems like a real person saying those words.
I had to shorten 'hello' to 'hi' to get the exact number of syllables in the haiku lines: 5-7-5. I get hours of entertainment from both my DVD players-the second one plays ordinary DVDs, not Blu-ray. Blu-ray gives a slightly better picture.
