April is National Poetry Month and My Odd Sock would like to celebrate by dusting off a poem I wrote many years ago. Enjoy!
“Where’s My Remote?”
Written by My Odd Sock 4/11/1994
Now where’s that remote? It’s lost once again!…
Lost in my couch, here in my den.
A TV detective is what I need…
to find my remote by searching for leads.
I’ll call Jim Rockford, Mannix and Peter Gunn…
CHIPS, Barnaby Jones and Cannon!
Charlie’s Angels, T.J. Hooker, FBI and Quincy…
Toma, The Rookies, S.W.A.T. and Cagney & Lacey!
I need Hawk and Hunter to solve my dilemma…
Switch and Longstreet and Tony Baretta!
Barney Miller, Commish and that crafty Eischied…
Nero Wolfe, Mike Hammer and that old Ironside!
Police Woman, Jake & the Fatman and Magnum P.I…
Get Christy Love, Dragnet and The Fall Guy.
Call the Mod Squad, M-Squad and Police Squad too…
even the cops from Hill Street Blues!
Adam-12, Surfside Six and Hawaii 5-0…
The Untouchables, Banacek…Book’em Dano!
Kojak, Kolchak and Maxwell Smart…
Dan August, Vegas and Hart To Hart!
Harry-O, McCloud and McMillian & Wife…
I’m so hooked on TV, I need a new life!
I’ll call The Blue Knight, Hawaiian Eye and Columbo…
Starsky & Hutch, A-Team and Delvecchio!
Please!…Who can help me find my remote?…
Maybe I’ll call Jessica..of Murder, She Wrote.
