Sonnet 69

If you want what's my Strictly biased view,

Of  Big Brother celebs trying to mend

 X-Factors long past when their sell-by's due -

Self-annihilation's what I commend.

You kings, queens of the big bug-swallow crowned -

Who stays famous if they're left on their own

 Minus a voting public to confound?

(Wiping their bums is what doesn't get shown)

Does what we say he/she said make them kind

Of like us?  Are we all fame hungry weeds

Mass exposed to sway some collective mind?

Big faux outtakes of jolly japes and deeds:

This unreality's the only show

Where it's crystal clear what tongues love to grow.
