THE 23RD CHANNEL

The TV set is my shepherd, my spiritual growth shall want,
        It maketh me to sit down and do nothing for His name's sake,
        because it requireth all my spare time.
It keepeth me from doing my duty as a Christian,
        Because it presenteth so many good shows that I must see,
It restoreth my knowledge of the things of the world,
        And keepeth me from the study of God's word.
It leadeth me in the paths of failing to attend even worship services,
        And doing nothing in the kingdom of God.
Yea, though I live to be a hundred I shall keep on viewing TV as long
        as it will work for it is my closest companion.
It's sound and it's picture, they comfort me.
        It presenteth entertainment before me, and keepeth
        me from doing important things with my family.
It fills my head with ideas which differ form those
        set forth in the Word of God. Surely no good things will come of my
life.
Because my TV offereth me no good time to do the will of God;
        Thus, I will dwell in the place of the Devil and his angels forever...

in brotherly kindness
