An TV	The TV
Tha a' ghrian ag éirigh gach latha a faileasan falbhach- air an TV. Cha do chreid sinn gun robh Éirinn ann gus am faca sinn i iomadh oidhche - air an TV. Tha e nas fhaisge air Humphrey Bogart na tha e air Tormod Mór - on fhuair e an TV. Arsa Plato - "Tha sinn ceangailte ann an uaimh" - se sin an TV. Thainig nighean a-steach do rum gun bholtrach gun fhiamh - ás an TV. Mu dheireadh chaill e an saoghal mar a thubhairt Berkeley - cha robh ann ach an TV. Cheannaich e War and Peace, Tolstoy, tha mi ciallachadh, an déidh fhaicinn air an TV. Nuair a chuir e ás an TV chaidh an saoghal ás - chaidh e fhein ás. Cha dàinig a lámhan air ais thuige no a sháilean gus an do chuir e air an TV. Ròs ann am bòla air an TV, na nithean a th* anns an t-saoghal, 's na nithean nach eil. Fhuair e e fhéin ann an sgialachd 's chan fhaigheadh e aiste air an TV. Bha e anns an sgialachd: bha e anns an rum. Cha robh fhios cait an robh e. S tù a ghràidh as fheàrr learn na Softly Softly no Sportsnight with Coleman. An seòmraichean glaiste le geatachan iarainn ach a ghràidh a bheil TV annta?	The sun rises every day out o fleeting shadows - on the TV We didn't believe Ireland was happening till we saw it night after night - on the TV. He's closer to Humphrey Bogart than he is to Tormod Mór - since he got the TV. Said Plato- "We are tied up in a cave" - that's the TV. A girl came into a room without scent or colour - out of the TV. In the end he lost the world as Berkeley said - there was only the TV. He bought War and Peace, Tolstoy, I mean, after seeing it on the TV. When he put off the TV the world went off- he went off himself. He had not got his hands back or his eyes till he put on the TV. A rose in a bowl on the TV, the things that are in the world, and the things that aren't. He found himself in a story and couldn't escape from it on the TV. He was in the story: he was in the room. There was no knowing where he was I'd rather have you my love than Softly Softly or Sportsnight with Coleman. In locked rooms with iron gates but my love is there TV in them?
