Chapter 1 - Intro/ The Man With A TV For A Head
Submitted May 16, 2008 Updated May 16, 2008 Status Incomplete | A series of poems telling the story of my character Milt, the man with a television for a head. My friend and I are working on turning it into a rock opera too, so that'll be cool...

Chapter 1 - Intro/ The Man With A TV For A Head
Lend me your ears and I'll tell you a tale
Of a character that you may not know very well.
His mailbox hung open with no letters inside,
The single word "Yeager" was wrote on it's side.
That's all that they knew, not his age nor his first name.
They did not know his birth, his purpose, or from where it was that he came.
It's only human nature to fear what you don't know,
And so he was avoided, his looks made this so...
He didn't resent them for their foolish acts.
He chose not to notice as they turned their backs.
He completed his day as though nothing were wrong,
He didn't bother to try to fit in or belong.
What did he look like? What made him so strange?
He had quite a condition that no man could change.
He resembled no being, both living nor dead,
He was known as the man with a TV for a head!
