Reality television

Can reality television get much worse?

As long as it sells and someone opens the purse.

We now have watching paint dry as a source of joy.

Or watching a shrimp boat sailing with an ahoy.

 

It is scripted and drama woven into its mix.

Even the shows move with false fights and hitting with sticks.

Originality is no more, it has been edited to the floor,

We flip the switch as a human who is a bore.

 

Vets in space is coming soon, alien pests with no clue,

The effects of flying on the human body in the blue,

Tree climbing by pregnant moms as dense as the wood,

People with missing body parts doing what they could.

 

Will someone say enough, will someone pull the plug?

Give me the shovel, I will bury the television with a hole I dug.

It’s boring like Judge Judy going it’s a gift, no it’s a loan,

It is as boring as listening to lovers on a cell phone.
