Saturday Night (Not at the movies)

The Retired Bloke

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.

    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.

    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 ๐Ÿ˜‰
