Technogirl

TECHNOGIRL
Lyrics by Roger Coghill 

I’m a touchy-feely person.
Skin to skin and all that jazz.
Kiss both cheeks if she’s a lady.
Wrap-round hugs if he’s a man.

But there’s a different world, believe me.
Viruses of different kind
Flourish only in the downloads.
Kissing’s only in the mind.

John Donne must have known the future,
When he wrote “If I perceive
I have thee, then I have thee truly:
Perception is reality”.

There’s a girl in Boa Vista
Never needs to meet with me.
Facebook and predictive texting
Keep her from reality.

Meet the world of dating websites,
Conversations on the net.
Generations finger-stabbing
Screens of those who’ve never met.
