An Asymptomatic Sinner

 

I burned a television set today

Which was a rewarding experience

A bonfire of the vanities indeed

Burn, you 140 channels, burn!

 

I am in quarantine, ‘though symptom-free

And there was an old television around

And so I burned it. And I’m glad, ha-ha!

Tomorrow I will rake the ashes for its guts

 

While in quarantine, waiting for my test -

A burning television is a merry jest!
