When I was a kid in the 80s, if our TV had ever been stolen, my Silent Generation parents would have been in as big a hurry to replace it as I would have been. But they also had a smaller set in their bedroom and a black & white set in the kitchen. And we were definitely not rich, just a gather-’round-the-TV type of family.
I got sweat in my eyesLost a bet and got bit by a hundred fliesI fell out a big ol’ treeHit every branch and scraped up both my kneesI got chased by dogsLicked by a frogGot a rash on my legsDropped a dozen eggsI got splinters in seven of tenAnd tomorrow, I’ll do it all again(Big City Greens)
