22 North Shore Towers Courier n July 2016 Hamlet’s Lament (An Ode to Cable) TV or not TV, that is the question. Whether ’tis nobler to suffer The transgression of power, system, cable, Only to espy: “Please Wait.” ’Tis inglorious hate. Take arms against the feared remote, And by clicking, still the screen to darkness. To note, the blue light of hope. Ever taunting the mind to dream. Oh! For sound and picture, my humble wish. Perhaps the mortal coil of color will appear. The insolence of failure abounds and spurns The patient merit of many takes. The current oft sleeps, Lost in the weary wire of quietus. The ebony screen teases, ’Tis sickled and mean. Unable cable doth makes fools of us all. But hark! The hue of resolution awakens. Ah, to read! Perchance the pale cast of thought Will awaken my soul. —Vicki Mazel (with apologies to The Bard) ® ASSISTED LIVING BY GURWIN Exr Yrrf Everyone deserves choices, and nobody appreciates choices more than Fay.
