It seems you cannot hear
The words I speak to you
And we just can’t appear
In dreams we’re living through
It’s poor connection sign
No tech support can mend
The general decline
“Your message can’t be sent”
Communication’s down
Through fields of memory
I walk, cause I am bound
To find both you and me
The wheel rolls on and on
Looks like it can’t stop turning
But once it stops, at dawn
You hear a ping that morning..
I'll teach you the ping pong song.
You can all sing along -
the ping song, ping song, ping song.
The words are easy. You can't sing wrong.
Sing it loud and sing it strong -
sing pong, sing pong, sing pong.
A return is impossible. Feel the sting
of my vicious forehand...ping.
My friend, I'm afraid you've got that wrong.
Here it comes - my tenacious...pong.
Hear this - my shot's resounding ring.
I doubt you can repel that...ping.
Take that, my unyielding counter...pong.
Ah, the melody of the ping pong song.
Table tennis is a song -
ping pong, ping pong, ping pong.
Silhouettes in black and white
the players have attacked
Thoroughly worked out (?)
- harmful influence
From tongues unrestrained
How many thistles are required
to justify guilt
Organic intelligence
or
artificial intelligence
The dust swirls in the air ...
In Red China they've just outlawed Ping-Pong
You have to wonder what too them so long
To have to play in a mask
A near-impossible task
But what got it banned were those skimpy thongs
time of year as christmas is near
to show you care
time to share
be aware
its love that comes from above
for all reason
SING PING
ITS HOLIDAY SEson
There once was a wealthy tycoon
Who loved piloting his balloon
In Albuquerque
He rammed a turkey
And landed a wee bit too soon
Crikey! Its already Friday!
So its fish & pumpkin pie day
And they go together
Like Hurricane weather
School Kids call it Breathe & Die day
The old man said to a young man,
Each time he answered the phone.
Hitch your wagon with a strong hand.
Have courage, go far, and live long.
Encourage yourself and take a stand.
Expect the best and play lots of ping pong.

sit here staring out of eyes
that i don't seem joined to
searching inside for the exit door
fingers move without invitation
screaming from this flesh and bone prison
playing tennis with echo words
drowning in my thoughts
he that rules
lives in ping pong pitch
movie, stormy, mixed
Lee Ping at the end of the Pier
Decided to overcome fear
His dive of two feet
Will never be beat
When ever the water is clear
The hardest thing was to let that telephone ring
Then came along the smartphone's 'ping'...
...to leave us vexed...
What came next?
Trying to ignore that text
And you're surely old, if not bitter
or a technology-quitter --
To never have tweeted or twittered

with no contest in mind...
Was a young girl from Dublin
Decidly fat not thin
Her butt played ping pong
when she wore a thong
watching a three rosary sin
