1982

It’s 1982 and my dad is watering the lawn

and we’ve had the carport built in,

it’s called the sunroom now and mum buys a second tv

black and white and my sister watches

the world’s richest game show which is also on the

tv in the lounge and my sister calls out

to ask the colour when the car comes on at the end

there are two channels, channel 2 and TVT 6

channel two is play school sesame street

the curiosity show doctor who dr snuggles

and a psychedelic musical filler called the butterfly ball

TVT 6 is sons and daughters days of our lives

the cosby show Judith Sweet and ads

TVT 6 is Fat Cat and Friends and when the music plays

it’s time to get your mum and dad

TVT 6 is Land of the Giants on Saturday arvo

and cricket all summer so you just play outside

but if the test finishes early they play reruns

which are the best the love boat exciting and new

both stations are the news we watch tom payne
at bedtime Rupert Bunny says to all little children good night
