The poet advises not to install the television in the home. He calls it a idiotic thing. He shares his experience where he has seen many children watching television with eyes wide open . They keep on watching television until their eyes pop out. They become still for long hours. They even forget the real world. The one happening on the television becomes real for them.

The TV shows kill their valuable time making them lazy. They don’t find time for play and exercise. The poet says that television keeps the naughty children quite. As they don’t climb out the window, fight, kick or punch and let their mothers to cook freely and wash the dishes . He understands that it was more damage than good.

Furthermore the poet asks the parents if they exactly understand what are they doing with their lovely child. He answers the question himself. He tells that television damage their senses. A child becomes unaware of the real world. He takes what ever it shows as real. It kills his imagination power and creativity.

The child is unable to utilise his time in thinking over other things as he is already messed up with the thoughts of the fictional world. He could not make efforts for the development of his personality thus making him dull. Also children fail to understand a fairy tale as they are captured by virtual reality. They could not thick on their own and their thought process freezes and gets rusty.

Now he answers the question that the parents would ask him. He says that they should be motivated to read as in earlier times children used to read a lot. The nursery shelves were full of books . The poet talks about popular books of dragon, gypsies and queens . The youth in the earlier times used to read stories written by Helen beatrix Potter. Some of the stories like – How the camel got his hump ? , and it’s characters are also mentioned.

The poet thus requests the parents to throw away the television set and install a book shelf in its place. As the children will have no option left but to read. Slowly they would start finding joy and would even thank their parents in the future to fill them with knowledge and wisdom.
