Soaphistry

Today's prompt fails to successfully propagate:
a theme unfamiliar
I'd rather go for a soak than watch a soap,
not that the acting is bad
or the story lacking,
quite the opposite
as they strive to create art that truly reflects life
- all the glory and failure and fighting,
it is simply that they do not do it for me.
I do however favour 'Soap'
parodying to absurd degrees,
now that is my cup of tea
the mundane and trivial reactions
to the preposterous adventures
hoping to snag and snare
a few more viewers
fully aware of its nature:
a meta-soap that comes clean in its attempts.
