72 Miles From The Sea

The technology available is fantastic

But is it more trouble than it’s worth

And will our worst fears be realised

And shall the geek inherit the earth

I resisted getting a mobile phone for a long time

But I gave in and was told I’d never regret it

Now if I leave home without the thing, I panic

And I have to turn around to go back and get it

The technology available is fantastic

But it has affected me detrimentally

As I realized I’ve not played solitaire

With a real deck of cards this century

On the beach beneath the sun,

You hear the sounds of joy

And excited laughter of play

From every girl and boy

A Mexican friend of mine

Was really cross

After his car was stolen,

Poor poor Carlos

Midlife is when you have to go to the Doctor

And you realise you are now so degraded

Because you have reached a period of old age

Where you pay for a guy to look at you naked

If you stand and look in the full-length mirror

And see a beer belly, bald head, varicose veins

Strawberry nose, and a complexion like leather

Think positively, at least your eyesight remains
