> The TV is my shepherd, I shall not want.  
> It makes me lie down on the sofa.  
> It leads me away from the Scriptures.  
> It destroys my soul.  
> It leads in the paths of sex and violence  
> for the sponsor's sake.  
> Yea, though, I walk in the shadow  
> of my Christian responsibilities,  
> There will be no interruption,  
> For the TV is with me.  
> Its cable and its remote control,  
> They comfort me in the presence of my worldliness.  
> It anoints my head with humanism.  
> My coveting runneth over.  
> Surely laziness and ignorance shall  
> follow me all the days of my life;  
> And I shall dwell in the house of flat screen TV forever.

> Sow a tendency, and you reap a habit;  
> Sow a habit, and you reap a character;  
> Sow a character, and you reap a destiny.
