I love reality TV

Certain shows

I love on TV

To live their lives

Vicariously

A spousal visa

For just 90 days

They need to marry

Or have to part ways

From other countries

For a better life

In the USA

A husband or wife

On the Internet

It’s how they met

A green card

They hope to get

Six hundred pounds

And maybe more

Almost too big

To fit through a door

So much food

You see them eat

It’s hard for them

To stand on their feet

A surgeon in Houston

Can operate

But first they need

To lose some weight

A high protein diet

No carbs or a sweet

That 50-pound loss

Will be hard to meet

Quintuplets, Sextuplets

As cute as can be

Another show

I’ll watch on TV

Brothers and sisters

Demanding attention

Exhausted parents

Need I mention

Cribs and diapers

Formula and clothes

All these babies

Is not what they chose

Fertility drugs

A decision to take

Too many babies

They would make

The bachelor

And the bachelorette

Some pick the right one

But most they regret

Lots of kissing

On these shows

A fantasy suite

Where anything goes

Thanks for sharing

Your life with me

Do you make lots of money

On reality TV

Empty nesters & retirees

My neighborhood is pretty
The streets are clean
With beautiful flowers
And grass that's green

Throughout the day
It's usually quiet
People will walk
But no one will riot

You always feel safe
Police are here
Take a walk at night
Nothing to fear

Except for the dog park
No people to meet
To stand and talk with
On any street

I'll stay in my yard
And swim in my pool
On very hot days
I'll always be cool

With endless days
The same routine
My morning coffee
Without caffeine

For empty nesters
And retirees
We live alone
Among the trees
