Little black boxes; wires to the left and wires to the right.
Wavebands and broadbands, more than enough to give you a fright.
Flickering screens ejecting oceans of facts.
Are these gizmos Microsoft, or maybe Apple Macs?
I want to write a letter but no one does any more.
Use pen and paper! What on earth is that for?
If you want to send a message, then just press ‘mail’.
Although it probably will, it’s never meant to fail.
Because you’ve gone electronic, you will hear from one and all;
dodgy Nigerian bankers and tricksters from Montreal.
I can no longer tell what’s kosher and what’s plain junk,
so I switch the wretched thing off, with my spirits truly sunk.
