caught in the unfortunate circumstance
of having to listen to dr phil
in drum splitting decibels
I couldn’t shut out,

heard him rant on and on about
today’s hot topic
of vital importance
to the studio audience

and viewers at home
- how a young man of 18
was just a child, a boy
too immature to choose

the lover of his choice,
shock boo hiss
and heaven forbid,
a boy toy for an OLDER woman!

now dr phil’s a licenced,
experienced psychologist,
so what layman can argue with
his professional opinion that

an 18 year old is just a child -
like our toy soldiers, our boys and girls
gunned down on the streets of iraq,
dying for nothing before

they had a chance
to dream, to choose, to hold
a lover of their choice -
approved by dr. phil.

I can't stand Dr phil.

A good insight to the ignorance of it all.

I liked this.

I’d honestly never heard of him, maybe his show isn’t screened in the UK but undeterred I went surfing.

I think on balance I learned four things.

1 You were too kind to him.
2 Common sense as well as not being as common as you’d think doesn’t necessarily contain sense.
3 Any show that promotes 5 simple steps to anything should have a “May contain nuts” warning.
4 I’m putting him on my “avoid at all costs” list, somewhere between Jerry Springer and carbon monoxide poisoning, seem reasonable?

I liked the boy toy reversal btw, I may steal it – like Christmas.(jk)
