Ode to Network Television
Oh how I hate you, Network TV
You give us shows and then at the last 5 minutes
pre-empt the ending to tell us things that could wait
Like, how terrible the weather can be
I have a window, I know it’s bad
NOW GIVE ME MY SHOW BACK! LEAVE IT BE!
I’ve invested 55 minutes to this end
CSI NY, WHY in the last 5 minutes
Must you cut away to tell me Arafat is dead?
NO OTHER NETWORK last night cut away
ABC felt that this news could wait
until Wife Swap was done for the day
But CBS, they cut away,
I now have no idea how this episode ended
Thanks a lot you bastards…
