Oh Mr Postman
Oh Mr. Postman,
Where have you gone?
Oh Mr. Postman,
Wake up its dawn.
You vanished without a trace, you didn't even leave a trail.
Should I send a message in a bottle or just an "E-Mail"!!!?
Oh Mr. Postman,
What happened to you?
Oh Mr. Postman,
You are all but over & that's the truth.
Life for you must now be hard, with no postcards or parcels to collect.
What have they done with you, are you caught in a web they call "The Internet"!!!?
Oh Mr. Postman,
Are you still alive?
Oh Mr. Postman,
There's no mail and it's half past five.
I have my doubt if you will ever come back again, to deliver my telegrams and letter.
I want see you just once again, or someday will we meet on "Face-book" or "Twitter"!!!?
Oh Mr. Postman,
Have we lost you to technology?
Oh Mr. Postman,
Please accept my apology.
I am waiting to hear what you have to say, now that gone are the stamps, paper, pen
and ink.
This is no dream, a harsh reality, What was, What is, What will be. Just think!!!!
Oh Mr. Postman,
Why did the technocrats bring about change ?
Oh Mr. Postman,
This cyber revolution has got me deranged.
I would draw my screen and look out of the window, just waiting to hear your bicycle ring
Now I look into a screen with windows, trying to figure out this "Inbox" thing!!!
Oh Mr. Postman,
Welcome to the new era!!!
Oh Mr. Postman,
I hope it treats you well
In your uniform on days hot, cold or warm, you have served people both high and low
What will you do now, do you have a plan? I will never know, Will I never know?
