Get your chocs turn on the box
Let’s see what we can see
It’s not to hard to play the card
Humiliation T.V.

You might just catch a screaming match
Or a fight tonight when he
Forgets to duck who gives a buck
Humiliation T.V

There are lots of tears and all your fears
On channel one two three
You can’t just walk there’s legal talk
Humiliation T.V

Oh look theirs Greeta you’d love to meet her
She’s buxom blonde and free
She’s no one’s wife she spills her life
Humiliation T.V

Then there’s the show that one….you Know
It’s based on C.R.U.E.L.T.Y
A man can’t breathe the viewer’s seethe
Humiliation T.V.

You don’t need a heart to come take part
There’s dollars given free
Just take your place and pull a face
Humiliation T.V.

They jibe and joke they push and poke
The sarcasm that’s exchanged free
'She’s just a witch' - someone gets rich
Humiliation T.V.


Some viewers write ‘We’re shocked tonight’
But they’re a small minority
So their feelings can……. flush down the pan
Humiliation T.V.

The programme makers the micky takers
They pretend they cannot see
‘It’s what they like get on your bike’
Humiliation T.V.


A question spoke now tell me folk
Is this celebrity?
When someone dies before your eyes
Humiliation T.V.

Jon, I share your disgust and outrage over the trash on t.v. A total waste of technolgy!
You suffers? Our children! Our society! Our nation! Your poem is so true!  good read.

Exactly why I monitor what my children watch...and rarely turn on the tube. This is sooo creative ... I love it!

I think the ryhme scheme in this one was great. I loved the topic. Down with Humiliation tv! A good way of expressing your thoughts against the grasp tv has on us and our youth.
