The dust collects on light bulbs,Whatever shall we do?
I tried to clean it with a duster,
But it turned to sticky goo.

The light used to shine so brightly,
But now it’s gone away.
It seems as though the darkness,
Is here to always to stay.

What happened to my light bulb?
It used to shine so bright.
Now it’s always dark here,
What happened to the light?
The dust it is so dusty,
Believe me when I say,
Dust your light bulbs daily,
Or you will truly pay.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
