Saturday night watching TV
A little bit of X Factor and Strictly
Wine in one hand remote in the other
The bottle placed handy for another
It feels a lot like a guilty pleasure
Very chilled out simply no pressure
Nothing here to tax the mind
No big step forward for human kind
It’s simply nice to relax and unwind
Watch Simon Cowell try to find
The next superstar the next big thing
Asking what song they would like to sing
Then there’s Bouncy Bruno waving his arms
Spreading compliments about dancers charms
Feedback sometimes gets pros a little furious
Not when Revel Horwood says they are gorgeous
At the end of the night a little worse for wear
I struggle eventually to get out of the chair
And slowly stagger up the stairs to bed
Thinking of what I could have done instead!

- Comment from author about the poem: Like a lot of Brits I spend Saturday evenings watching X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing it takes up the whole evening. At the time I enjoy it but I then reflect on whether there is a better way of spending my time.

Oohh I know. I'm not out raving either. I'm in bed about 10pm, having had me Horlicks or Ovaltine! heehee.
I think it’s cocoa for me!!
Never watched X Factor but used to watch Strictly avidly but stopped watching three years ago.
Good write and totally understandable for a relaxing evening - mine is a Rioja please.
Yes I too like a good Rioja.
Don't really watch TV but I imagine this is how most people spend their Saturday nights and why not? There are another 6 days in the week to be affective with your time 😉
Very true!!
