What licence?

I have no car,
it seems absurd,
from the Ministry of Transport
I've had no word.

I have no gun or firearm,
indeed I wish to cause no harm,
but in such a matter of great import,
its strange to say there's no report.

No-one I've robbed, there's none I've slain,
the Fiscal has no need complain,
whats TV licensing all about,
my life's enriched since throwing it out.

No background babble or whats worse,
the flickering innane hypnotic curse,
the assumtion I should be prepared,
to pay to have my brain impaired.

It maybe seems a contradiction,
that anyones free of this affliction,
that this man should, so wicked be,
not to want to watch TV.

By Earth and Wind and Rain and Fire,
it is the least of my desire,
to thwart thee in thy justification,
t'would be contempt before investigation.

So heed not anything I may say,
pray, come and visit any day,
I fear most often I'll be out,
and there's no TV hereabouts.

Yet I thought these days of high technology,
you could detect, and find, and pin down solidly,
all such abusers,
t'would ease the post and relieve the stress on real non-users.
