WHO AM I TO YOU?

What is your pleasure?
I am a smart TV
who can give you
hours of leisure...
I'm black and thin
which provided contrast
to your colorful den.
I give you the early morning news,
about your favorite political views;
I also inform you
what the weather would be like -
whether it's going to rain or shine
in your niche of the green woods.
On top of all of these--
I provide you with traffic conditions,
while you gather your provisions,
and drink your cup of jasmine tea
before heading out your way.

Who am I to you anyway?
I'm just another electronic toy--
You play with my remote control
anytime you please...
Never really cares if you just
throw me on top
of your clear glass coffee table,
or you're suffocating me
underneath your soft red pillows.

In the evening while you watch movies--
I can see the glow in your brown eyes,
while you sip your favorite red wine;
but there are times they are gloomy,
just like the flickering scented purple candles
that are about to die...

I made you laugh, I made you cry--
We shared frustrations along the way,
and rejoiced when Dow Jones is high;
I have entertained you in so many ways
that's why I beg of you, don't even try
to discard me when I'm old and dry!
