They don't climb out the window sill,
They never fight or kick or punch,

And wash thedishes in the sink
But did you ever stop to think,
To wonder just exactly what

It rots the sense in the head!
It kills imagination dead!
It clogs and clutters up the mind!
It makes a child so dull and blind

Our darling children? Please explain!'

'How used they keep themselves contented
Before this monster was invented?'
