Spoiler Alert

I rarely watch a TV show
The first time that it airs.
With On-Demand and TiVo,
If I catch it late – who cares?

But sometimes there’s a lot of hype,
Like when a season ends,
And then it’s hard to block the news
From articles or friends.

So “Homeland’s” big finale,
Which was several weeks ago,
Remained to me a secret
(Don’t read more if you don’t know).

I guess I should have figured,
Just by following the thread,
That there’d be no happy ending
But my goodness – Brody’s dead!

I suppose I am the last to learn
This news that others had;
Still, I haven’t even started
Season One of “Breaking Bad!”
