It's stuck to your ear or sits on your lap
You swipe and you pinch or give it a tap You lose control when the signal goes down To be disconnected is like starting to drown You share all that you have in so many ways You tweet, poke and like in a world that is crazed There's an app for this and an app for that You have a phone but you app to chat It's supposed to be social but often it's not Alone in your space, you're losing the plot Baring your soul to the cyber stranger Trying to make friends but courting danger Sat side by side you still connect Emojis add to the effect You have access to everything via the net To stardom and fortune or even a bet But what do you do when the power is down No broadband or wifi, that brings a frown Perhaps turn to your roommate and offer to talk Or put on your jacket and go for walk Take up a hobby or join a club A concert, the theatre, now here's the rub To sign up or pay I need to connect So pass me my tablet and I'll do the rest |
