I think I agree - I'm so tired of the stupidity and do-nothing blather. Soaps might be better. I remember my mom had a show she liked - she had to be home to listen to some hospital soap. I like the HGTV building channel - anything but that constant discouraging news.
Good job.

This political 5-7-5, Political Drama? Please..., has the right set up and acts as a request for the kinder, gentler world of cut-throat soap opera stories.

I think this is a good entry for the Political 5-7-5 writing prompt.
This short verse compares politicians and soap operas.
Well done and I wish you luck with the contest.

Thank you for this humorous entry to this contest. I am so sick of all the negativity and back biting. Politics has become such a black hole of negativity! Yuck! Good luck in the contest.

Wait... What... You mean this is for real? No writer could make this stuff up! Yes, bring back the soaps. At least then we could turn them off and get back to living our real lives.

I don't get it -- have the soaps been taken off the air while Trump's trial is underway? (I don't subscribe to cable-- LOL.) I assume that's the case, in which case I'm laughing (and I would agree. I don't watch the soaps either, but anything would be preferable. HAhahaha!)

Good luck in the booth.

Do not usually review political pieces, but this one about rings true. People are so tired of all the shenanigans that even soaps are more must watch television than almost anything the partisan political arena offers.

Very funny association with the soap genre, but you are right the political scene in USA right now seems to come from the scenario of "Young and Restless" with one small amendment - old.
Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Great us of the 5-7-5 rule. I don't watch soaps but this impeachment drama could push me in that direction. Hope our country can find a path to healing.

A very well-written political 5-7-5 where impeachment seems to take over all entertainment to see how politicians pondering to waste tax oayers' Money is extremely boring.
