Watching On Demand

In days of yore, way back before
The TV screens were flat,
We’d watch a show but didn’t know
In future evenings that…

We could install a way to call
A show that we had missed
For, understand, that On Demand
Back then did not exist.

If we were out, there is no doubt
We’d never get to see
That program which would so enrich
Our lives from our TV.

But nowadays, a series stays
Available to view
Until the night the time is right,
To me, for its debut.
