Now lookie here....
What DO they do?
These characters in soap serials
Day after day, never-ending
But not usually weekends
They swan about, doing nothing
Examples are:
A doctor in a show, only works about once a fortnight
Got no patients!
A shop that is fully stocked
Cos it never has any customers!
And no one ever goes shopping
How do they survive?
Well, they're all made of wood - wooden acting!
And a terrifying song
Including the line:
'I want to stay for ever'
Completely bonkers!
It will drive ya mad if ya do
I can't stay one minute more! LOL
Ya knows the joke of a prisoner:
The sentence was 40 years in jail
Or one week of watching 'Neighbours'
(or equally ghastly UK show)
It was a no-brainer
He had to choose jail! Heehee.

The thing I like about soaps is, you can watch them in 1990, watch them again twenty yearts later and nothing's changed.
A bit like prime ministers questions. The country is doing great and I'll definitely see out my term I'm told.
My mother listened to them on the radio, my wife watched them and trying to be open minded I watched for a while too but found the candy to be rotting my brain and gave them up as a bad habit like methamphetamine. Addicting they are to many and should be a controlled substance. Good write Orchi
Great Job. Your poem revolves around the absurdity and unrealistic nature of soap operas and serial television shows. The poets humorously critique the lack of realism in these shows, pointing out how characters seem to have little purpose or engagement in their lives.
