I know you are very busy
As you sweep left and right
Looking for your ideal mate
Who they won't let you meet tonight

But if you can tear yourself away from your screen
For just for a minute or two
You might see for yourself what I mean
And what they are doing to you

I know I'm just an old man
And you've no time for that
Sorry I can't message you on Instagram
And no I don't have Snapchat

No, I can't send you a friend invitation
Or like your page
But I would like a conversation
Just like they did in the old days

Sorry, I can't join in on What's app
Or speak to you on Zoom
I would just like a serious chat
Where we are both in the same room

**'phone rings***
"Hello, yes it's me. Nice to hear your voice, yes it has been a long time. .."

'The Internet is on the blink
And my smart phone has let me down
Do you want to go for a drink
And I can meet you in town?
We can...'

So sorry to interrupt
But I did try to explain
It's too late we are fu*ked
We've been locked down again

Go and look out of the window
Now does it all make sense?
There is nowhere we can go
We can't get beyond the electric fence...

John...Really liked the humor in this. all this is  really wearing on me, I cleaned out my shed, painted the porch, washed the car 10 times and just remodelded the bath room. I need a break from this sh*t.

John are you still into music like you use to be...Paul
