To counter all the mad stuff that came out of America today, I spent most of my morning making silly rhymes up that encapsulate various TV shows. They each have the same basic rhythm in my head, so it only worked for a few titles.

+++

Frasier Crane, Frasier Crane  
His nervous disposition frays your brain  
His fastidious interference will drive you insane  
Oh that Frasier Crane

Agents of SHIELD, Agents of SHIELD  
Saving the world with super powers they wield  
And all the Inhumans they have out in the field  
Marvellous Agents of SHIELD

New Girl Jess, New Girl Jess  
She’s a manic pixie dream girl I have to confess  
With Nick and Schmidt and Winston her life is a mess  
Oh that wacky Jess

The Walking Dead, the Walking Dead  
If they lurch toward you, just shoot them in the head  
Whatever Rick suggests, do the opposite instead  
To avoid the walking dead

Game of Thrones, Game of Thrones  
Winter must be coming, I can feel it in my bones  
The Dragon Lady’s here, she’s gonna kick you in the stones  
Tricky that Game of Thrones

Jessica Jones, Jessica Jones  
Super strength can’t stop what the Purple Man intones  
The only way to stop him is to go in alone  
You can do it, Jessica Jones

Stranger Things, Stranger Things  
Don’t underestimate what kids are uncovering  
Eleven and the demogorgon, both frightening  
They’re stranger things

Halt and Catch Fire, Halt and Catch Fire  
See the rise and fall of a PC empire  
Who knew it involved such sexual desire  
It’s Halt and Catch Fire

Only Connect, Only Connect  
What links the four clues, just get the answer correct  
With your head held high try to gain some self respect  
On Only Connect

Call The Midwife, Call The Midwife  
See the nuns and nurses usher in a new life  
And soapy operatics causing all sorts of strife  
Being a Midwife
