Reality Show Reality

Written by Gail DeBole

A woman desperate for fame
Who only had herself to blame
Decided to wed
A stranger named Ted
Which was an action quite lame.

A month after each said, “I do.”
They each called the other a fool.
Each yelled, “I don’t.”
“Stay with you, I won’t."
Their wedding was a day they both rued.

Yeah, but once they tie the knot, they should give each other time. Lol

Hi Paghunda, Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I agree it is a sad situation when people rush into marriage without getting to know the other person. Best Regards, Gail

Hi Caren, Thanks so much for the feedback! Glad you like this. Not a fan of many of the reality shows - as you can tell (LOL). (There are some I do enjoy though.) - Gail
