O/T - Not My Favourite Things

Facebook and Bebo and E-Bay and Twitter
Texting and typing - they won't make you fitter,
Sore eyes and fingers are all that they bring,
They're nor remotely my favourite things!
Viruses, Trojans and spamming and phishing.
Data on laptops that seem to go missing,
Sitting on trains when a telephone rings,
These aren't exactly my favourite things!
When they break down, when they spam me,
When they make me mad....
Then I remember how things used to be -
And I don't feel so bad!
Letters from loved ones in handwritten packets
Walks in the park with no 'phones in our jackets,
Capitals used when a sentence begins,
Those were a few of my favourite things!
For those old days, and those old ways,
I am feeling sad,
Then I switch off my i-phone and PC,
And I don't feel so bad!
