My wife doesn't move very much
when she's watching the TV at night
I supply the occasional coffee
to provide much needed respite
Set in a self-induced coma
she's not really lazy as such,
just fixated on life in The Jungle
where they also don't move very much
I can't extricate the remote
held tight in her vice-like clutch
so I'm forced to watch what she watches,
now I too don't move very much
There's a lot to be said for a second TV screen - or laptop streaming!
Sounds like you are pretty tied down when
Your wife takes control of remote
At least you are getting some movement
When bringing coffee for throat re-coat ?
The theme is fun - and no doubt resonates with many men as far as
the possession of the "remote" is concerned. My brother-in-law
- a footie fan - has his own TV in the back room and that saves a
lot of potential clashes about what to watch. And he wouldn't be
eager to get seated for the soaps!
The Jungle show, like a morality play, love, hate and cockroaches.
