I NEVER WATCHED

I NEVER WATCHED

I never watched
“The Apprentice”
It seemed to involve
Deeply unpleasant people
Being unpleasant to each other
Why would I watch that?

I never watched
“The X Factor”
It seemed to involve
Deeply unpleasant people
Being unpleasant to other people
Why would I watch that?

I never watched
“Strictly Come Dancing”
It seemed to involve
Unpleasantly smug people
Being massively self-indulgent
Why would I watch that?

I never watched
“Britain’s Got Talent”
It seemed to involve
Deeply desperate people
Humiliating themselves
Why would I watch that?

I never watched
“Big Brother”
It seemed to involve
Ghastly unpleasant people
Being unpleasant to each other
Why would I watch that?

I never watch
Any soap operas
They seem to involve
Nasty unpleasant characters
Being unpleasant to each other
Why would I watch that?

I rarely watch
Much TV any more
It seems to involve
A whole world of unpleasantness
Violence and shouting
Why on earth would you watch that?
