NEW ON NETFLIX IN FEBRUARY 2021
I was walking through town the other day
A most rare occurrence in this day and age
I happened across a young woman named Laura
I think her surname was potato but I can’t be sure
As I past her by in no more than a couple seconds
Anyway she was waffling something or another
About Covid in care homes and separated families
Like the other 999 conversations I heard that afternoon
I walked past a HMV after and noticed myself wishing
To join Dr Manhattan and take up permanent residence
On the pensive surface of Mars
It’s 2:30am now and I’m lying awake in bed
A helping of Netflix has left me comfortably numb
We’re all just drifting now a million American
Psychos stuck in a rut and eagerly waiting for our next helping
Of hot chocolate and marsh mellows
You see that suited man over there? It’s Rod Serling
Though I’m afraid we’ve long past the signpost
Our next stop well and truly
The Twilight Zone
