9 Seasons Of A Bad TV Show

by Jersey D Gibson

How much longer am I locked into this?
Rehashing the same old plot lines.
The names stay the same while the faces change,
yet the dollar signs always go up.

Fascidious and pretencious people surround me,
can we change the cast, or the production company?
Drugs run rampant along with the egos,
open your mouth, I can't hear a word you say.

Tiny mind with a personality to match,
can this person really be my co-star?
You only get a five minute on-screen appearance,
if you're lucky, you might be on the credits.

Ruled by agents, runned by directors,
yet no one knows what the hell is going on.
Writers scramble to make the cover charge,
only waiting for the final fade-out.

You make a strong case here Jersey, and truly believable knowing you've been in the thick of the battle.

Jersey, I like the way you used comparison in this poem. Stay safe and congratulations on your POTD.

Good one, Jers! Sort of like the inmates running the asylum , eh! On the second read, when I substituted the word ‘life’ for ‘TV’, this piece took on a whole new meaning. Congratulations on becoming The Allegorical Poet Of The Day.

There are some fine hair-pin curves in this gem! Terrific to read!
