Here you will find the Poem Jimmy Jet And His TV Set of poet Sheldon Allan Silverstein
I'll tell you the story of Jimmy Jet-- And you know what I tell you is true. He loved to watch his TV set Almost as much as you. He watched all day, he watched all night Till he grew pale and lean, From 'The Early Show' to 'The Late Show' And all the shows in between. He watched till his eyes were frozen wide, And his bottom grew into his chair. And his chin turned into a tuning dial, And antennae grew out of his hair. And his brains turned into TV tubes, And his face to a TV screen. And two knobs saying 'vert.' and 'horiz.' Grew where his ears had been. And he grew a plug that looked like a tail So we plugged in little Jim. And now instead of him watching TV We all sit around and watch him.
