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?
