Song Break

My Child arrived just the other day.

He signed up for AOL in the usual way.

Before he knew it, it had went away.

Signed up for Myspace the very next day.

And he was friendstering before I knew it, and as he grew..

He’d say, “Im gonna be connected like you Dad.

You know I’m gonna be like you.”

 

Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and Urban Spoon.

Little boy knew he had to get on soon.

When you going to friend me Dad?

I don’t know when, but we’ll get together then son.

You know we’ll be connected then.

 

My son turned ten just the other day.

He said, “Thanks for the Iphone, Dad, come on let’s play.

Can you teach me these apps,” I said, Not today”

“I’m trying to be a social rockstar,” he said, “That’s ok.”

And he walked away with his phone in his hand.

 

And said, “Im gonna rock like him, yeah!”

“You know I’m gonna be like him.”

 

Well, he came home with a website just the other day.

It look like the others I just had to say.

“Did you optimize it, can you sit for a while?”

He shook his head and said with a smile.

“What I’d really like, Dad, is to be visible you see?

Can you drive that traffic please?”

 

Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and Urban Spoon.

Little boy knew he had to get on soon.

When you going to friend me Dad?

I don’t know when, but we’ll get together then son.

You know we’ll be connected then.

 

Need to be more social, make a blog right away.

I skyped him up just the other day.

I said, “Your website is coming up everytime.”

He said, “Thank you, Dad, I’m always top of mind.

You see my company has grown all thanks to you.

You’ve taught me to be a social rockstar like you, Dad.

It’s been amazing learning from you.”

 

And as I disconnected skype it occured to me.

He’d grown up just like me.

My boy was a social rockstar like me.

 

Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and Urban Spoon.

Little boy knew he had to get on soon.

When you going to friend me Dad?

I don’t know when, but we’ll get together then son.

You know we’ll be connected then.
