The Virtual Blues II

Tried to log in this morning,

H2G2 wasn't there,

I couldn't check my postings,

I'm in the depths of despair

Without my H2G2

I got them Virtual Blues again...


Went for coffee this morning,

Couldn't find the Aroma Cafe.

Wondered what had happened

Had Vogon's blown H2G2 away.

No more |_| of BB,

I've got those virtual blues again...


I'm practically crying,

I'm about ready to explode,

No matter how hard I'm trying,

The Front Page won't load,

I'm surfing at 0 mph

I've got those Virtual Blues again...


Where is everybody????

I swear no-one's on the guide!

No-one replies to me -

Where is it that they hide?

I really NEED some company,

I've got those Virtual Blues again...


What's happened to Beaker,

That pervert good and true?

And where is The Grim Squeaker ?

Seems he's gone missing too.

This verse goes out to absent friends,

I've got them Virtual Blues again.


Been sittin' at my screen too long,

It's dangerous when you're older.

So now I've got a stiff neck,

And an aching shoulder.

The screen's seized up in sympathy,

I've got them Virtual Blues again.
