Sinister: lost controller

[.j 0n]

the lost controller
-----------------------------------
every time i go to change the channel
the remote goes and hides 
it slips away 
before the ad-break
leaving me high and dry.
i ought to take its batteries
and give them to the hippo clock
but then id be stuck on channel one
staring gormlessly  like a shmuck.
always i do find it
down with the crisps and dirt
loose change and torn off nails
down to where the neverworld begins
spiders webs and baby snails
down to were no light can reach
and its closer than you'd guess
lying down the side of the sofa
having a little rest.
