A Game Oddity

(with sincere apologies to David Bowie. Now go buy Space Oddity and listen to the real song!)

Ground Control to Major Bob
Ground Control to Major Bob

Ignore your life and put your ear buds on

Ground Control to Major Bob
Commencing countdown, phone app on
Check battery life and may Bloggers be with you

Spoken:
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Lift-off

This is Ground Control to Major Bob
You’ve really made the game
And the bloggers want to know whose games you play
Now it’s time to leave the real world if you dare

“This is Major Bob to Ground Control
I’m stepping through the game
And I’m playing the game in a most peculiar way
And the game looks very different today

For here
am I sitting in a wi-fi hot spot
Far away from the world
My phone's cover is blue
And there’s no game I can’t do

Though I’m past one hundred thousand games
I’m feeling very calm
And I think my phone knows which way to go
Tell my OS I love her very much (she knows!)
Ground Control to Major Bob
Your phone is dead, there’s something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Bob?
Can you hear me, Major Bob?
Can you hear me, Major Bob?
Can you hear....

Am I floating round my tin can
Far above my phone
My phone's cover is blue
And there’s no game I can't do…
