"The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them most your tv set --
Or meliorate nevertheless, just don't install
The idiotic affair at all.
In most every firm we've been,
We've watched them gaping at the screen.
They loll and slop and lounge well-nigh,
And stare until their eyes pop out.
(Concluding calendar week in someone'south place nosotros saw
A dozen eyeballs on the floor.)
They sit and stare and stare and sit
Until they're hypnotised by information technology,
Until they're absolutely drunk
With all that shocking ghastly junk.
Oh yep, we know information technology keeps them however,
They don't climb out the window sill,
They never fight or kick or punch,
They leave you gratis to cook the tiffin
And launder the dishes in the sink --
But did you lot ever stop to call back,
To wonder just exactly what
This does to your beloved tot?
It ROTS THE SENSE IN THE Caput!
IT KILLS IMAGINATION Dead!
IT CLOGS AND CLUTTERS Up THE MIND!
It MAKES A CHILD SO Wearisome AND BLIND
HE Tin NO LONGER UNDERSTAND
A FANTASY, A FAIRYLAND!
HIS Brain BECOMES Equally SOFT Equally CHEESE!
HIS POWERS OF THINKING RUST AND FREEZE!
HE CANNOT THINK -- HE Merely SEES!
'All correct!' you'll weep. 'All right!' you'll say,
'Merely if we have the set up away,
What shall we exercise to entertain
Our darling children? Please explain!'
We'll answer this by asking you,
'What used the darling ones to do?
'How used they keep themselves contented
Before this monster was invented?'
Have you forgotten? Don't y'all know?
We'll say it very loud and slow:
THEY ... USED ... TO ... READ! They'd READ and READ,
AND READ and READ, so proceed
To READ some more than. Peachy Scott! Gadzooks!
I half their lives was reading books!
The nursery shelves held books galore!
Books cluttered up the nursery floor!
And in the sleeping room, by the bed,
More than books were waiting to be read!
Such wondrous, fine, fantastic tales
Of dragons, gypsies, queens, and whales
And treasure isles, and distant shores
Where smugglers rowed with muffled oars,
And pirates wearing purple pants,
And sailing ships and elephants,
And cannibals crouching 'round the pot,
Stirring away at something hot.
(It smells then adept, what can it be?
Skilful gracious, it'southward Penelope.)
The younger ones had Beatrix Potter
With Mr. Tod, the muddied rotter,
And Squirrel Nutkin, Pigling Bland,
And Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle and-
Just How The Camel Got His Hump,
And How the Monkey Lost His Rump,
And Mr. Toad, and bless my soul,
In that location's Mr. Rat and Mr. Mole-
Oh, books, what books they used to know,
Those children living long ago!
So please, oh delight, nosotros beg, nosotros pray,
Go throw your TV set away,
And in its place y'all can install
A lovely bookshelf on the wall.
Then fill the shelves with lots of books,
Ignoring all the dingy looks,
The screams and yells, the bites and kicks,
And children striking yous with sticks-
Fear not, considering nosotros promise you lot
That, in about a week or two
Of having naught else to do,
They'll now begin to experience the demand
Of having something to read.
And once they start -- oh boy, oh boy!
You lookout the slowly growing joy
That fills their hearts. They'll grow so smashing
They'll wonder what they'd ever seen
In that ridiculous machine,
That nauseating, foul, unclean,
Repulsive tv set screen!
And later on, each and every child
Will love you more for what you did."
