Weird Gender Images: A Found Poem from TVGuide.com

We wish we could watch every show on TV 
But there are at least a zillion to be covered
I checked TV Guide to help plan our choices
Here are some of the plots I discovered 

Emily becomes an Internet star
Sarah decides to take some private time 
Renee talks Bree into going to a pickup bar 
Jane is ready to pursue writing full-time 

Barry joins the high school football team 
Josh turns mad scientist for his biker gang sale
 Kyle disappears after destroying Amanda’s dream
Hank’s erratic behavior puts him in jail  

Ella searches for the right hairdo 
Margie scrambles to find child care 
Zoey learns she may have a little more growing to do 
Sammy Jo is ready to wash Jeff out of her hair  

Dirt on Piscatelli comes to light
The cops close in on Art and Bill 
Antoine McKenzie is brazenly shot in broad daylight 
Boss Hogg schemes to destroy his late uncle’s will 

Rebecca tries to reconnect with Jack 
Peggy suffers from a migraine
Mona helps Hanna get her fashion career back on track 
Rikki spots Sophie kissing Zane 

Spencer invents a machine to feed his fish
Stroheim returns as a cyborg and wages war
Murtaugh walks on thin ice with Trish  
Ralph decides he doesn’t want to be a hero anymore

Pam puts on a lunchtime fashion show 
Megan hosts a Sip-and-See for baby Fay 
Holly lands her dream job in San Antonio
Jazz gets an unexpected gift on her 17th birthday

Eli finds farming more than it’s cracked up to be 
Jacques Renault is found dead 
A cross-dressing professor goes on a killing spree 
Two gunmen shoot William Davis in the head 

TV, as we see, is all about gender
The males seek violence and power
Women pursue close relationships 
When together, the couples just glower

All this brainwashing, who the sexes are
Or, supposedly, who they should be
Mostly they choose the male as the star
A minor glitch — it’s complete fantasy
