Got our first colour telly 
 
watching THE WIZARD 
OF OZ 
 
as before 
& before. 
 
but our colour telly 
is already(it appears)   
broke. 
 
we’re watching Judy 
sing in black & white. 
 
I, irate 
grab it by it’s rabbit ears 
 
give it a bloody 
good thump 
 
& suddenly 
it blossoms 
 
Judy suddenly 
 
singing in 
glorious Technicolor.
