Tv Wars

In our home TV choices
Are subject to much debate
Programmes one may like
Can make another feel irate

Its Friday night tonight
So it’s with a sense of doom
I see tonights selection
Playing in the living room……..

Car programmes of every kind
Rally, racing and repairs
Like ‘Extreme Suzuki 4x4’ -
It’s the stuff of my nightmares

And wait, there’s so much more
Of ‘Global Investigator’ calibre
How about ‘Mysteries of the Deep’   
And ‘Paranormal Caught on Camera’?

Theres ‘Storage Wars’ and ‘River Monsters’
And ‘Islands’, both ‘Oak’ and ‘Snake’
But for me it’s ‘Expedition Unknown’ 
That really takes the bloody cake

I find none of this inspiring
And I’m feeling quite unhinged
As payback I will subject them 
To a ‘British Bake Off’ binge
