An unexpected slap on live television
Little did anyone know what was happening
In the breadth of a gasp it was all said and done
Two men, celebrities, both make an incision
To cut out a tumor, benign, yet not awake
Little could we predict visages misshapening
Eclipsing the future with years of slapstick fun
Gratitude will get us nowhere in our mission
Reject entertainment for entertainment's sake
Ask ourselves whence subtext and was it all rehearsed
Transgressions on the screen appear obscene, too real
Ugly performances by actors on the stage, were they cursed
In their roles to play fools, a jester and knight kneel
To pray to the one God to obtain transmission
Objections to the rules of fair play encounter
Underhanded forehand, backhand, volley, lob, smash
Slice through those nets to fly beyond asphalt, clay, grass
Violence is sexy on screen and to saunter
In full view of others back to his seat, how bold
Open to discussion regarding how to bash
Loud-mouthed comedians in public who may sass
Every man and woman to get a rise, these sons
Noble in Hollywood, never know when to fold
Crass jokes about women, their hair cannot counter
Even one iota of violence with guns
