They don't climb out the window sill,
They never fight or kick or punch,
They leave you free to cook the lunch
And wash thedishes in the sink

To wonder just exactly what

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

He cannot think - He only sees!

Our darling children? Please explain!'

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