The Lyrics
Another TV show that fell victim to Covid-19. Contestants travelled to distant lands to perform dangerous stunts and eat disgusting food. There are many shows of its kind, involving physical and gastronomical challenges, and others involving the accumulation and sale of "stuff".
Amazing Race, a TV show
That went around the world
I took the lead, then let it go
Ate something weird, then hurled
On airplanes I have crossed the sea
And dangers there defied
How sweet that prize appeared to me
The day I first applied
In fire I forged a Viking sword
And pawned it for some cash
The stuff I picked became a hoard
My treasure mostly trash
On shows, so called "reality"
Fool's courage have displayed
Acceptance letter came for me
From "Naked and Afraid"
That went around the world
I took the lead, then let it go
Ate something weird, then hurled
On airplanes I have crossed the sea
And dangers there defied
How sweet that prize appeared to me
The day I first applied
In fire I forged a Viking sword
And pawned it for some cash
The stuff I picked became a hoard
My treasure mostly trash
On shows, so called "reality"
Fool's courage have displayed
Acceptance letter came for me
From "Naked and Afraid"
