We Kill the Ladies (sung to The sound of Silence)

Summary:

Stress does wonderful (NOT) things to the way my brain functions. Anyway, I dreamt this last night, a meta-filk on the exit strategies for female characters on NCIS.
Comments please.
*/META/**/ FILK... We Kill the Ladies (sung to The sound of Silence)/* Okay, I really need to get a life. However, until that happens I'll probably filk. This is my first foray into META-filking but the current exit strategy for female agents on NCIS has gotten me riled enough to filk it.

*/We Kill the Ladies (sung to The sound of Silence)/*
by JustJeanette

It's time to shock them once again
A females life, it's time to end
Because that's the way they have to go
To keep our rating up we say it's so
And the viewers, in their seats they still remain
Don't complain
When we kill the ladies

And Caitlin Todd, she has to go
Ari's bullet makes it so
Jenny Sheppard had her last stand
Suicide by perp, the plot's go grand
The deaths they died were so very trite
This is not right
And yet they kill the ladies

Paula Cassidy is no more
Blow to bits in a downtown store
Agent Lee she was caught spying
Her End's at hand with no trying
These misogynistic plots we should not share
But no one cares
As we killed the ladies

Fools said I, you do not know
Attitudes like that can kill as show.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Strong women shouldn't frighten you
But my hopes like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the death of ladies

And the women yelled and brayed
To the exec's, so overpaid
And the posts flashed out a warning,
This meta pattern we see forming
And the posts said, the words of the viewers
Are written on forum boards
And groups galore
And we dread the killing of the ladies
