An annoying flashing I continue to see,
I can't help but wonder, "What's wrong with me?"
I'm positive others have seen it too,
Yet, they say nothing and *nothing* they do!
When trying to stop it, my brain seems to lock!
Some say I might need.. a "Special Doc"!
The flashing continues both night and day!
Can't someone please make it "all go away"?
My neighbors have surely heard my loud shout,
The frustration is endless, and myself... I now doubt!
I've read every book to help find an answer
But the flashing continues.. Like a hypnotic entrancer!
A call to my friend and then to my son!
"This flashing won't stop and now I am done"!
He begged, "Mom , please, don't do anything dumb.
I love you and somehow the answer will come"!
I hung up the phone, knowing what I must do.
No books, no 'Docs'...Now, I was thru.
The hour had always been Twelve for me
But that's going to change... very quickly!
Now it was time to "Pull The Plug"!
So I began with a long, hard tug!
Hooray... the flashing has stopped for me.
The VCR's dead and I am Flash Free !
