Jeremy Kyle poem
Every morning on telly there is someone you know,
His name is Jeremy Kyle and he has own show.
It’s always a challenge when on comes a guest,
Whether for a lie detector or a DNA test.
“How many time have you cheated? Tell me the truth.”
Well,” he replied, “Just with Jane, Carol and Ruth!”
“Isn’t Carol her sister? And isn’t Jane her mother?”
“Yes, Jeremy. That’s true, but there are no others.”
“So, why are you with him? You should run the other way!”
“I know! But I love him! What more can I say?”
On comes the sister; shouting and going mad,
“What you don’t know, sis, is I’m pregnant and he is the dad!”
“Oh my God!” says Jeremy, “For goodness sake!”
“I’m off for a lie down. I’ve got a bad headache.”
On comes the boyfriend. “Would you all welcome, Troy.
Sit down and sit up. What have you got to say, boy?
You had in*******se with her sister and also her mum.
I don’t know what you’ve got, but I wish I had some.
She is pregnant!” he shouted. “You stupid git!
Why didn’t you put something on the end of it?”
“Well, Mum, you don’t seem to have a lot to say.
Tell me what happened on that fateful day.”
“I was drunk, Jeremy! One thing led to another!”
“Oh come on love! It was your daughter’s lover!
I don’t care if you drank ten bottles of wine,
You really don’t do this! You don’t cross that line!”
It was all kicking off; the stage was in mayhem.
When on comes Mr Cool in the shape of Graham.
“Welcome Graham everybody, who is the genius!”
Graham doesn’t react, he would never make a fuss.
With his amazing specs, and bristles on his chin,
“You can’t go on like this as nobody can win!
I suggest we all just talk sensibly, no going wild.
And remember the most important thing here is the child.”
“So go off and talk to Graham”, Jeremy says with a sigh.
“Sometimes it doesn’t work, no matter how hard I try!”
“Next out is a lady; she is nervous and her name is Clair.
And she is convinced that her husband is having an affair.”
“So what’s going on Clair? What is the news?
Oh, and by the way, I am loving those shoes.”
“He stays out late at night and he’s gone off s*x,
I’m getting desperate Jeremy, would you like to be next?”
He smiles and shakes his head, so full of denial,
“No! I don’t think so! And neither would Mrs. Kyle.
I have four kids Clair, what would they say? Do you know?”
“Yes, Jeremy I do! As I always watch your show!”
“Let’s bring your husband on. Please welcome Dave.
Sit down. Nice to meet you. Give the audience a wave.”
“Hello, Jeremy. Nice to meet you, but I’m so annoyed,
I’ve done nothing wrong. Clair is so paranoid!”
“So, is it normal to come home at half past three?
So where do you go? And who do you see?”
“See, Jeremy. You’re just the same as Clair!
I’m like a prisoner, can’t seem to go nowhere.”
“Don’t get upset! I’m not having a go.
Just getting the facts. It does say ‘Jeremy Kyle Show.’”
“Sorry, Jeremy! I am at my mates, playing C.O.D.”
“If you don’t mind me saying, that sounds a bit fishy.
Do you think you’ll pass the lie detector test?
Your wife Clair looks less than impressed.”
“Only one way to find out, only one way to tell”
Jeremy opens the envelope, “Well, well, well!”
“What do you think, Clair? Is he a cheating louse?
He passed every question. He’s got a full house!
You have got to trust him more. Know what I mean?
Go off that way and talk to our after-care team.”
“Next on is Kyle with D.N.A. Results after the break.
To find out if he’s the dad, he say he’s one of eight!”
“A round of applause, Kyle is on the show.
By the way nice name, something I know.”
“Hi, Jeremy. It was only a one night stand.
With her, it was sure as hell not planned.”
“Look, I’m old. Explain. You think you are one of eight?”
“I know, Jeremy! Not good is it? She’s a bit of a state!”
“So, this was with Summer, is that right?”
“Yes, Jeremy. Until then it had been a good night.”
“Hang on, you had s*x with her. Take some blame!”
“Please don’t remind me, I hang my head in shame.”
Summer ran on shouting and swearing, kicking him on the leg.
“Talk about a quickie, Jeremy. Not long enough to part boil an egg!”
“I can’t believe it”, says Jeremy, shaking his head,
“Such love and affection, and they say romance is dead.
Now, the other seven. Do they live in your town?”
“Give me the results, Will. I need a lie down.
Before I tell you the results; have you got a job, Kyle?”
“No. Not yet Jeremy, but I’ve been looking for a while”
Jeremy looks at the card, “That’s interesting my lad.”
And walks up to him, then her, and says, “He isn’t the dad!”
Kyle runs off the stage, with Summer in tears,
“This job always surprises me, even after nine years”.
“I’m sorry, Jeremy. I knew the test would be right.
He was so drunk, he didn’t even take off my tights!”
The audience burst into laughter and Summer gave a smile,
“Well, thank you everybody. And it’s goodbye from me, Jeremy Kyle.”
