Boob Tube
Why do they call it the boob tube?
Besides the obvious rhyming pair
there aren’t any naked boobs
at all. There’s plenty of jiggle

but I have to monitor pay cable
to see the female breast
in all her glories.
Perhaps boob is meant figuratively
given the men that appear on Sunday
morning news shows.
