My soda in hand, popcorn popped
Onto my comfy couch I hopped.
I reached for the remote to turn the TV on,
Nothing happens; something is wrong.
I press down harder on the power button
Hoping for something....still, nothing!
I bang my palm against the remote's back
Still...a whole lot of nothing happened after that.
Frustrated and hungry, I throw the remote at the wall
Stomping off to bed, watching nothing at all!!!
Author notes
I chose Option 1: Why do we press harder on a remote control
when we know the batteries are almost dead?
