1590 - Remotely controlled

Oh no! What to do, and what not to do
Is the question, the question as usual
I want to record music, and read, too
But TV has made me confusional
First there's football and then John Constable
The painter, a programme about his life
And love, who inspired him, Maria Bicknell
I don't know if she then became his wife
I'll find out if I watch. But I don't have
Much time, so I'll stop without more ado
Writing this banal sonnetary drivel
Except of course I haven't yet arrived
At the end of its fourteen lines, as you
Would soon spot if I didn't write them all
