Without TV what will she see?
Without a view, what will she do?
Restricted games may make her odd
In a world given over to a remote and a nod.
Her parents sow such a curious lot --
Releasing the child to the world of thought.
Books and music, how sublime;
Odds and ends and lots of time.
The child sports a bloom
Negating predicted doom:
She thinks . . .
. . . Me thinks.
Paper and tape marionette
Sporting styrofoam eyeballs embedded with beaded pupils
That *B*L*I*N*K*
And teeth that gnash.
Happy kid . . . artist . . . inventor . . .
Despite lack of Wii.
(Imagine a world . . . )
P.S. I see from some of the comments that I gave the impression Rachel lost her Wii. She didn't . . . she never had one.

Very creative! We've never had a Wii and we're still not that crafty!
great creation!
That's awesome!
My kids just got a wii for Christmas and...now I don't know if they could live without it.
It's very good for discipline! (to take away)
see? they know how to amuse themselves without technology! that's VERY inventive. well done!
Awesome!
I'm with Aly ~ we don't have a Wii and we're certainly not that creative or crafty either!!
So cool Rachel! The kids love it too. We will probably never have wii. Maybe a Nintendo DS, but that would be mine!
excellent creation we have no wii here either!
Take the Wii away?
It's crazy...but it just might work.
I love that beautifully monstrous creation!
Ok. I think I have heard of this, but what is a Wii anyway? I'm sure I'm showing my age.
now that is a cute puppet! Eyes that really blink? BRAVO!
Very creative! Oh to be a kid again where creativity has no hindrances!
Very creative! Congrats Happy Kid!
Most of these latest technical gadgets just stop the creativity in children.
So funny...I can relate. It would be like my world without the internet--EEK! But, I can always bury myself in a book! Glad she found a fun and creative way to spend some time.
Good for You Debbie, and Even Better for Rachel! If I had my way those things will never come into my home (but unfortunately for me I have a husband and an older set of kids that are dying for one someday when they are more affordable.) You can bet there will be restrictions on it though..
Rachel, you are so creative- send a little of those juices to my chilluns' will ya :)
Who needs a Wii when you have a creative and imaginative mind!
We haven't one either. lol! I love how creative you guys got with the puppet! It blinks and everything, that is awesome!
I am totally impressed! Great job!
We are Wii-less, too. Oh, the abuse of it...lol! My children think they are the only Wii-less kids in the entire world.
Too bad, so sad...I think that's what they say to me all the time.
Super cool puppet! very impressive!
Wii do have Wii, but the kids must read in order to play.... not a big deal for some of them, but a rather big deal for others.
What a very creative mind.
We have a Wii..right now, mommy and daddy use it:)
Love the poem and the marionette. It's amazing how kids can make something out of nothing--we have a wii and mine still create! (before that we had every game system nintendo has ever made. One of my children actually learned to read playing nintendo! So it's not all bad. Remember its a tool not a lifestyle)
