My life is kind of like the soaps

I thought I would have a bit of fun today and send you a little lyric I composed a few years ago. Some of the TV programs don't exist anymore. I don't know if that is fortunate or unfortunate, but for my little poem, it is, indeed, unfortunate.

Well, my life is kind of like the soaps
It's full of shattered dreams and hopes
But it's always continued next episode
I'm following that Guiding Light
But my Search For Tomorrow becomes The Edge of Night
And I keep on stumbling down life’s lonely road

Now I seem to be getting nowhere
­As The World Turns
And I've been knocked around so often
General Hospital treats my burns

I feel I'm in Another World
Where The Days of our Lives are left unfurled
And no one knows what they're trying to seek
But I've only got One Life to Live
And The Young and the Restless have little to give
So for All of My Children life's going to be pretty bleak

You see I seem to be getting nowhere
As The World Turns
And I've been knocked around so often
General Hospital treats my burns

But I'm not content the way life is
It's not like a soap, it's more like a quiz
At least that's the way that it seems to be
So as long as I think The Price Is Right
I'll take the Truth or Consequences, and I'll stand and I'll fight
The Wheel of Fortune will spin right for me

For in the time you've got here
You’ve got to Name That Tune
There's no need for a Family Feud
So Let's Make a Deal real soon

Let's sit right down and write our own show
Create a happy story where the characters grow
And the heroes of the plot will be you and me
Oh, we'll watch our program every night
And we'll laugh till we cry and we'll howl with delight
We'll even win an Emmy, just wait and see
