Your Favorite Is Not As Good As My Favorite


Everybody's got a personal all-time favorite song
Or book, movie, show or joke
That nobody else ever gets

You may have been asked to sing along
Or prodded into listening to obscure electro disco folk
And told to wait, because here come the good bits

                    Possibly you've been handed a novel 800 pages long
                    With the claim that you'll love the emotions it will evoke
                    Except for the middle chapters, they'll give you fits

                                          Here, you can borrow the DVD
                                          It's one you really must see
                                          The Director is really clever
                                          The cast is first rate
                                          This one scene you won't believe
                                          You're sure to agree
                                          It should have won best picture
                                          Due to become a classic, you just wait

Did you see last night's episode?
You don't watch it? Oh, you're missing out!
It's the only thing really good on the tube

Okay, okay, so a salesman's car broke down along a country road
The farmer said he better not mess about 
The only cock he wants near his daughter is in the chicken coop!
                                          
               Oh come on! What have you got that's any better?
               What's that? That song? No, no it's way to jangly
               That book? I heard the author is derivative
               I hate that actor, I couldn't bear to watch anything he's in
               Seriously, that's on basic cable, how good could it be?
               Man that was lame, it's tragedy plus time for good comedy
                                                       

                                 Your tastes leave a lot to be desired
