The Great TV Set

Primetime priest
Monologue to camera
Santa with the maxims
Voice of the cantor

It’s “Us vs Them”
And the Hero’s Dilemma
A virtual cosplay
For your disillusioned fella

Dan Brown page-turns
And no resolution
“All part of their plan!”
Just keep tuning in

Fearless, he is
Not afraid to say it
Between Ofcom guidelines
And a healthy paycheck

Same time, each night
Remora to your blues
Follow him on socials
@therealrealtruthnews

Tried his hand at stand-up
Got ghosted in the greenroom
“Well, who’s laughing now?
I’m worshipped on Freeview

These are my thoughts!
No-one tells me what to say”
Another pawn placed by a billionaire
In the mirror, UK Ché

Of those who tune-in daily
To watch him point at monsters
A fool or five amongst them
Will take vigelante justice

They’ll hear a final call to arms
“I’m with you! Shortly after!”
But if he’s called up to the stand,
“My Lord,
I was just playing a character”
