Reality Shows

puzzle me

I don’t get the attraction
of racing home of an evening
to be on time for to watch
Survivor

or Big Brother
or So You Think You Can Dance…

I get so embarrassed for people
that I often can’t watch…
I have to change the channel

and I find myself thinking
“have you no pride…
that you’d subject your meager or non
talent to these masses for ridicule?….”

I get that they want so very badly
to have something
in their lives
that they’d embarrass themselves
on international tv
for a chance at a brief moment of fame
but jeeez eh?

however…
every once in a while
there’s the wee surprise eh?

Kelly Clarkson

Paul Potts

Susan Boyle

Kellie Pickler

tonight I found myself
caught up
in America’s got Talent
and there are 2 singers
that just blew me away….
and made me realize
how much this one opportunity
could make the lives
of these individuals

Kevin Skinner

Lawrence Beaman

what a difference a reality show
could make in these 2 very talented men’s lives

funny eh?

it’s odd to me

that people keep asking
if it bothers me
that they are all getting together
(those that I’ve cut from my life
for being hypocritical, or unethical
or lying)
and calling me names
or talking about me
when I’m not around to defend myself?

does it bother me
that I’m not invited to the local parties anymore
that I’m not considered “wanted”
by those that consider themselves
the “in” crowd

my answer can only be
while I miss the fun times
with some of those people
I don’t miss the bs at all
and I sure don’t feel a need to defend myself

frankly I don’t think that
I’m that important in their lives
any more…

anymore
than they are in mine really

life goes on
I have fun elsewhere

cos life really does go on…
funny eh?
