NINESEVENTEENPM The time has come to say good night It's nine seventeen pm The last episode of NCIS Was really kind of grim I quickly flipped at nine pm To a Blue Bloods episode Danny had just emptied his Glock And was ready to reload Criminal Minds was gory The plot was really gruesome A psychopath in Houston Had just dismembered a twosome Even Matlock was boring tonight But Dirty Harry 'made my day' Sleep is more important now So I'll just make my way To the bathroom for my usual routine Brush my teeth, take nighttime meds Gargle with some Listerine Turn the lights out and go to bed 26 June 2018 Not entered in contest by the same title which called for free verse

Those are shows that I really watch and enjoy. Fitting them together in a poem seemed like a good idea. And not only that, if I w rote poems as well as (as good as) you do I'd probably receive fewer NA and HM placements.
