Opinion (Multiple Haiku)

OPINION (multiple Haiku)

did you see the show
“america has talent?”
where the hell was it?

it was a circus world
but minus the elephants
spare the pachyderms

oh where in the world
can singers with 5-note range
go to hollywood?

i’ll give you a clue
“america has talent”
hey!   give me a break!

returning to this one where you make fun of one of my favorite shows. hahaha. Well, that guy with the puppet sure made it big off this show! You are right though, it should not be a showcase for singers. They already have VOICE and American IDol for THAT

In my "opinion," this show was hilarious. I did see one or two decent performances, but few of the contestants displayed any real talent, Daver. As a concert musician, you should have been on the judging panel. The judges appeared to be embarrassed by the dreadful performances. When one was the least bit passable, you could see relief on their faces. I don't think this show is going to last. Love ya, Carolyn
