Ode to MTV Catfish

I watch this program like it’s a religion.

Nev and Kamie are like Jeckyl and Hyde

for on-line daters around the country.

I like some of their repeats with grey-haired Max puts his true sense in.

Together they photo search if pictures are real

see if phone numbers are legitimate not apps.

Find out if a person is who they say they are.

I celebrate with a victory glass of wine

if the catfish is real.

I dance and laugh when it’s a spouse testing another to see if they will cheat.

Developing fake profiles I cringe

when it’s the opposite sex, a bully, or an obese loner sits behind a screen all day with a box of bon bons.

Socially awkward mental illnesses should not be glorified on television.

Eight seasons later I’m still glued to my couch watching who’s who as Nev and a variety of cohosts run around the country.

These reminders why I never trust on-line dating.
