The Urban Dictionary describes the term “American Midol” as follows: The act of sitting with your wife/girlfriend in front of the hit TV show “American Idol” for an uninterrupted hour of not being bitched at, the cable version of the PMS medication Midol. I confess to being a captive audience, but not necessarily on those terms. Personally I think we’re down to teenagers Scotty and Lauren Hey, I said I was captive not oblivious.

Jim Beam me up Scotty Honky Tonk describes your voice You’re pretty good at other songs But country is your choice Your competition Lauren Can belt out any style It seems to be that without fail She makes the audience smile Only one can win it all To be the next American Idol Until the competition is over I’m taking my American Midol Copyright 2011 Patrick Granfors

I'm proud that Scotty is from Wisconsin like I am. And he sure is a fabulous country singer. But, he's a dead ringer for Alfred E Newman, or haven't you noticed? I'm terrible with names but I prefer Haley over Lauren. She really belted out, “The House of New Orleans this week.”

The others are too good to call. I've watched all the seasons, but this one is the best of all. Since I don't have a spouse, no Midol in my family.

Not that I'm ever roped into paying any attention to this show, but I'm assuming that by your reference to "Carrie", you are meaning "Haley" - so very nice use of smoke and mirrors to hide the fact that you too are a secret admirer.

I liked it when the judges were more confrontational and objective. In other words, when Simon left, so did I.
Good poem though, ol' pal.
