You Cannot Be Serious

You cannot be serious
That ball was out
Sorry J. McEnroe
There’s no longer a doubt

The days of valve TVs
You tuned with a thump
And recording the charts
With cassette tape key clunks

Of writing a letter
You mailed in the post
Not mailing your client
Via some web server’s host

Or talking in person
Arrangements to make
Not sending a text
They can read in their break

Of reading a book
Or playing a game
No time to waste
It’s soap TV time again

The music’s much louder
The print face so small
Don’t worry J. McEnroe
It’s progress, that's all.
