Thank You Comcast

Watching the Olympics coverage on NBC,

Wondering how those who don't have "Pause" for their TV

Make it through commercial breaks; there's more of them than snow.

Would we watch if we could not "Fast Forward?" I don't know...

I would hate to miss the drama we've seen every night -

Thrilling moments, joy and heartbreak... Triumph for Shaun White.

All the strength and grace and beauty on the snow or  ice -

But a couple dozen fewer ads would sure be nice.

I'd find it unwatchable without our D.V.R.

We delay the Games an hour and (at least so far)

We do not catch up until it's time to go to bed.

If we couldn't, we'd be watching something else instead.

Thank God for DVRs

Midterms are 5 days away - 'though not too many care.

Hard to miss the fact they're coming; ads are everywhere.

T.V. spots and mailings, phone calls; my in-box is full.

There is not a soul who isn't sick of all this bull...

Thank God for our D.V.R. or else I'd be insane.

These commercials for the candidates are such a pain.

They've become a running joke as we go zipping by;

Coakley hates our children, Baker's not our kind of guy.

Scott Brown is a carpet-bagger, Jean Shaheen's a stooge...

And the campaigns' advertising bills have gotten huge.

Still, I'd bet they haven't reached as many as they'd planned;

Voters without D.V.R.s have switched to On Demand.
