“Volume II” of Harry & Meghan, the highly anticipated Netflix docuseries,
dropped on Thursday morning.”

Imagine, if you care to,
a “docuseries” made,
and viewers finding in it
our little lives portrayed.

But would there be excitement
in learning our first date
was at the Texas Roadhouse,
or knowing what we ate?

There were no paparazzi
in our old neighborhood.
(Although we took some selfies
and some are pretty good.)

And wouldn’t it be boring
to hear you’re prone to tease,
but really are a sweetheart
who always tries to please?

Our lives are full, yet simple;
we need not advertise.
Let those who crave attention
be viewed by many eyes.
