Unplanned outage

It just stops dead
Nothing at all
Quiet descends
Life slows to a crawl

Communication
Ceases immediately
Friends are cut off
Seemingly

No way to make contact
Can't wave or say hello
To those in your virtual world
The ones you think you know

Imagine if this lasted
Beyond a single day
How ever would we manage
We could never say

Those little tweets
About haribo sweets
That we've got the blues
Oh, I've bought new shoes
Had to journey alone
No friends in your phone
That you're happy or sad
And you'll be eternally glad

When the signal's repaired
And connected is made
All the gripes and the moans
Can now be displayed

Think of a world without me and you
Is that how it feels when there's no O2?

Day two dawns
And nothing has changed
Wi-fi's the saviour
If it can be arranged

There's anger, frustration
The shedding of tears
Time to use a phone box
You've ignored all these years

Still no way to make contact
Except face to face
But you know that's not possible
Isn't it a disgrace?

No FB pokes
Or twitter jokes
From Delaney or Cheggers
About who's now preggers
No sharing of news
Or those damn shoes
It's like everything's at an end
Without messages to send

Think of a world without me and you
Is that how it feels when there's no O2?
