The cat did the whelmed bit. That was sure a hit. Good and whelmed some can be. Who needs the over and under at their sea? Here is another that never gets love. Not even when push comes to shove.
The path is gated.
Poor old rated.
Add at the tone.
Can't be alone.
Overrated it is.
Damn that biz.
Gets my hate.
Overrated out of the gate.
Underrated it is.
Here is a pop quiz.
For you need to get to know,
This underrated show.
What if neither is true?
Can rated come due?
You never hear it said.
Is rated better off dead?
X-rated gets play.
PG rated comes your way.
R rated joins in.
14+ is given a spin.
G even lends a hand.
NSFW joins the band.
But plain old rated?
Must really be hated.
The truth is true.
99% believe it at their zoo.
Never will all agree,
That's known by you and me.
But most from coast to coast,
Neither under or over they boast.
They just love what has come due.
Wouldn't that mean rated is in cue?
Was that a no?
Is rated your foe?
Why all the hate?
Can't rated ditch the over under mate?
It wants to be whelmed.
Not over or under helmed.
Just whelmed and rated,
With no need to be inflated.
The cat just made a case for rated. Ever think rated is ill fated? Rated sure gets the hate. It's never used without a mate. Unless asking what something is rated and then a new rated is gated.That must get on its nerves. Can a word have such swerves? Can't even get on nerves at one's sea. Even if one has them come to be. Rated just threw me into a whole other sass. I'll just stay a whelmed little rhyming ass.
Fill your rummer, get drunk all summer.

DeleteThe #1 fuzz
Hi Adam and Pat :) :)
ReplyDeleteWaving away
DeleteAt your bay
Ratings are only as good as the rater.
ReplyDeleteAnd opinion they are
DeleteNo real set bar
If you get good ratings Pat then you deserve them.
ReplyDeleteWell done on another excellent verse.
Yvonne.
Good or bad
DeleteWorks at my pad
Oopsy-daisy you got rated
ReplyDeleteBy a fish you think you baited
Try again another day
You just scared all fish away
Shouldn't have peed in the water
DeleteI even offended an otter
Ratings can be subjective
ReplyDeleteBased on the day
Sometimes just have to ignore them
And do what you may.
Betty
That you do
DeleteAnd see what pulls through
I often get underwhelmed with some of the things humans do these days!
ReplyDeleteCrazy what they do
DeleteRight out there in view
Ratings depend on a mood
ReplyDeleteSome based on a prude
Or maybe just too crude
And some want to be rude
Whatever's in the wheelhouse
Sundays are neutral
Rude or a prude
DeleteAll goes back to the offended attitude
All things get rated today
ReplyDeleteNo rating? Pfff, get out of the way.
Rated best movie, best restaurant, worst company.
All in all, be wary where you spend your money.
Wary is the way
DeleteEverything out to get your pay
Ha. R-Rating is actually something I had never thought of until recently. I was talking to a publisher and they told me that they didn't accept 'R-Rated' content and I just went...oh. Oh wow. That's my content. haha
ReplyDeletehaha have to watch the for and flucity flucks
DeleteAll come back to them and their bucks
Some people get so mad when a horror movie comes out and it's not R rated. Horror fans are some of the most critical fans ever. They think it won't be as good if it's PG-13.
ReplyDeleteYeah, they sure tend to throw a fit
DeleteNeed the R in front of it
I'd like to be whelm
ReplyDeletewith DiCaprio at the helm.
With Dicrappio
DeleteYou can go
What happens if it's grated instead?
ReplyDeleteBe less of it
DeleteTo cause a fit
Rated under or over
ReplyDeleteNo bed of clover
It stands on its own
Might feel all alone
All as one
DeleteHaving no fun
Or all the fun
When all is done
This man was the king of his keep
ReplyDeleteHe waded in money so deep
There wasn’t a plan
That he couldn’t span
At least while this man was asleep
Got a nap
DeleteNo longer a sap
A Rated Time With This Chime!
ReplyDeleteA case present with odd signs
Settled for same
He did it again
Rated accepted without a whine
Hank
Rated on in
DeleteWith a spin
A little win
Or maybe sin
My mom should pay more attention to ratings. She was miffed when she let her grandkids watch Sausage Party and realized it was just cartoon porn lol
ReplyDeletelol that she should
DeleteAs that one sure isn't for the kiddos in any hood
I rarely pay any attention to ratings. If I were a parent or had young children in my care, I would be careful what I exposed them to; but I wouldn't hide the truth from them, just soften it a bit as was appropriate for their age. I was the third grade teacher who, during the compulsory MLK instruction, shared a video of the police setting fierce dogs on and the water-hosing of women and children before showing the "I Have a Dream" speech by MLK. I don't believe in censorship, but I do believe parents have a responsibility to vet what they allow young children to see. More than degrees of rating, we need critical thinking.
ReplyDeleteThat we surely do
DeleteCritical thinking to shine through
Soften it for their age
Don't need to fully hide the page
Whenever I see this pop up, I know I'm too far behind: "Your comment will be visible after approval." LOL But I'm up-to-date now! You've been on a great run in your posts lately ~ lots of truths exposed in rhyme! Have a good one, Pat, where you're at!
ReplyDeletelol the cat is on a roll
Delete7 back and you get the comment goal
