Media myth places

* media myth places *
Here mythmakers and mythbreakers dwell
The studios of network television
Ponderous landlocked landholding offices
Marked by a single number
Demonstrate their allegiance
Tell viewers to whom to switch to
To learn what is happening where
Or be distracted by sweet dramatic pulp
From the chores of the day
Though in truth they are eroded
Labour saving devices have done as
They did commit to do
Our chores now are superficial
A little pick and carry
Before television once more tarry
Unhurried by day's passing hours
Ensnared in narrative web
Of those fictional characters presented
Who seem more real than we
Bleed and live more life
Than we could ever dream to do
Whose challenges and opportunities
Seem so much more interesting
Than our very own.
