Married On Television
They got married on T.V with all the regalia.
Watched by a camera, somewhere in Australia.
Under the microscope, living false lives.
Women with husbands, and men with wives
Observing as I do through my own little box.
Proves most humans are mental? except Mr Cox.
They cheat and hurt, there’s ninety days of pain.
And the experts advise but never explain.
They have tried to find love in a bar-less zoo.
Forced to have sex and analyse as they do.
It’s all good T,V as long as everyone gets hurt
A nice pay day, but your heart’s the dessert.
Hats off to the experts, who encourage non-stop.
And bravo to the players and narcissists who flop.
Contestant begging to keep their marriages afloat.
And an emotional break down, through a scripted note.
Taking part in a circus so what did they expect?
Some lost their cherries, all lost their self-respect.
Reality telle, watching the pointless squirm on a nail.
Ratings through the roof when their futile lives fail.
