Soap Opera-A Mans Perspective

This girl, old so and so Has an affair with what's his face Every one in town knows about Except for what's her name This guy from somewhere or another Shows up after years lost at sea Everyone is so surprised Except for...you know who I mean In the middle as my stomach grumbles I go to the store for a snack Three days later I turn back on the tube They're at the very same spot they were when I left This little blind boy with his seeing eye dog Is in a hospital bed with issues I loudly exclaim these darn allergies And run back to the store for more tissue's This mystery man goes down in flames In a fiery plane crash Wouldn't you know, as soap operas go Two days later the guy is back That's about all I've gotten out of the soaps As this week draws to an end But come Monday midday, what can I say They'll start all over at the same place again

I know Mike, even though I'm female I hate soap operas! They are so dramatic and Boring! Your poem speaks volumes about them and how when you don't watch them for awhile how you really don't miss anything! And the "dead" guy always mysteriously shows back up again!:)
