Finding myself, I found company.

No, I have not yet converted,
but before you call me perverted,
know I really like the static -
how can I be more emphatic?

I miss my trusty analog,
I'm croakin' like a grievin' frog;
oh, well, I gotta go with progress,
what's next is anybody's guess.

6/18 the cable guy will hook me -
I hope he doesn't overlook me.
I'll get back all my channels,
and celebrate in summer flannels.

Me, Shirley, the Goddess
