System They don’t read the papers Don’t watch the news, Everything’s too frightening Gives them the blues, They putter in their gardens Go back and forth to work, Watch reality TV shows Reruns with Captain Kirk, One day the light switch Just made a clicking sound, The gas and the telephone Dead as leaves on the ground, No lights on at MacDonald’s The ATM was trashed, Told by someone scurrying by, The system had just crashed. System! What system? Nobody told us about a system! Stephen Nesbitt ©
