Some TV Execs are pleased with themselves, over at ABC

“Women have never had it so good!” they’ll say in synchrony

They’ll say, We gave them a show,

with a Lady Hero,

But cancelled ’cause ratings were low

They’ll go on, We gave it a shot,

But the ratings were not

Worth it’s prize prime-time spot

They’ll go,  We don’t need someone like Peg on TV

A dynamite gal, an upper-case “She”

A character with brains, and brawn, heart

A woman who isn’t afraid to be smart

There are plenty of others, to whom girls can look up

Like those ladies on YouTube who barf in a cup

So we’ll let the ax fall, and give Carter the boot,

The fans, how they’ll wail, though their point will be moot

But we on the ground know the truth, ever tragic:

With Peggy gone, TV lost something magic
