Ode to “American Idol,” 2010
John Park is in the dark
Haeley’s right behind him
Michelle has gone; she did her best
Jermaine’s gone back to hymns.
The final 16: there they are
I’m still a fan of Lee’s
I also like that Crystal girl
And Siobhan’s cool with me.
Expect the ads to start up now
With cars the kids are driving,
And, after that, we’ll lose a few:
While others will be thriving.
I’m picking Lee and Crystal girl
With Katelyn, Siobhan, Lilly.
I think we’re going to watch some go
Say: Paige, Tim, Alex, Silly.
I cannot see how Katie stays
I’m not real big on Andrew
Lacey’s pale and rather stale
Didi’s on life support, too.
But Katelyn’s there, Chicago style
With Lee and Paige and Casey,
Crystal’s shining like a star,
This picking drives me crazy!
