David Smith Poet Light Verse

The Secret Life Of

The secret life of cats,
The secret life of dogs,
The secret life of 4-year olds,
The secret life of  boys,
And so on,
And so forth. 

Has nobody told the TV producers that nothing is secret any more,
Not even the life of Demi Moore. 
Has nobody told the TV producers we can't take much more, 
Before we all take a walk on the moor,
And are heard of no more.

I am sure those expecting a letter from the Queen,
Would never have expected in the wildest dream to be seen,
On the he secret Life of a hundred-year-old has been.

Oh, why can't someone tell the TV producers,
That it is time to come clean,
Oh, why can't someone tell the TV producers, 
To stop being so mean,
Oh, why can't someone tell the TV producers,
The only secret lives left is those of TV producers,
So, we can all turn the TV back on, 
Knowing no more secret lives will be on.

Jennifer Proxenos September 5, 2020 at 12:43 AM Hi David, TV, Politicians, newspapers magazines all thrive on digging up peoples secrets and destroying lives, some need to be exposed some don't though. I wish they could all find the happy medium. Hugs and blessings hope you are keeping well. Lovely to hear from you, Jennifer. David Smith September 5, 2020 at 3:45 AM I agree. My grandson and his generation may be stuck with fixing what generations before them have stuffed up. I hope the small things I am attempting will ease the burden for him and that I can pass on a love of Poetry.. Best regards always David
