Satellite Capers with the Dream Team

Satellite Capers Photo 1: examining a satellite dish There once were some travellers in Spain
For whom having no TV caused pain
They bought a decoder
Then started to load 'er -
Then loaded again and again.
Satellite Capers Photo 2: setting up a satellite dish The signal just wouldn't come clear
The satellite wasn't so near
So they tweaked with the meter
It would surge and then peter
When it worked they would utter a cheer.
Satellite Capers Photo 3: setting up a satellite dish One traveller'd a nice dish to sell
So he sold it, and then, truth to tell
He sold it once more
Then it sat on the floor
And the signal came clear as a bell.
Satellite Capers Photo 4: setting up a satellite dish The job takes persistence and time
And great skill of these men in their prime
Concentration's the thing
That each has to bring -
When they've cracked it, rewards are sublime.

And you don't mind appearing the swishest
To make true your dream
We can hire you a team -
Three men and at least two big dishes!
