Will That Be Broadcast Or Cable, Sir? by Praise

The latest trend in Gary, from what I understand,
Is to set their clocks to GMT, although in Indianne.
The reason for the time change, as they explained to me,
Is because that's the time that's always displayed upon Mudcat TV.

"Mudcat TV??!!" Yes, Mudcat TV.
How, you ask, could such a thing have ever come to be?
Well it was someone's inspiration (I can't recall which thread)
To make cartoons out of every word the 'Catter's have ever said.

It became a hot fundraiser, to keep the 'Cat afloat,
And Saturday mornings in Gary, the viewers cast their vote
For the best of the week's live entries, and you know who usually wins?
That nasty Cleigh O'Possum, though quite awful are his sins.

They said it could never happen--real money in this game?
But it finally was reckanized that the problem had been the name.
See, no one'll pay big bucks for folk, so it now is called "Who Wants
To Exchange Their Low-Paying Job in the Sweatshop for Coffee and Crosissants."

That's right! Phoak Music's philosophy and phreakiness and phun,
Are hidden inside a game show, now, and it's rated number one.
It's the only one with a host named Max, and a host who seldom appears,
(Though the host is reputed to work real hard, and sometimes strips his gears.)

The contestants are all those 'Catters who used to write the threads,
But now they are far too busy hiding winnings from the feds.
(The Goddess was off the show for a week just to meet with her CPA,
Cuz big money is taxed far too heavily here in North Amerikay.)

And the viewers are learning quickly how to make a Mudcat pun,
And soon they will be folkified, too, and join in all the fun.
That's when the plan goes global. Worked for "Millionaire", you know.
Didn't you know "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" is just a pilot Mudcat show?
