Playing The Field

They said to play the field
To get back in the game
To see what else is out there
They said it would ease the pain

They told me things have changed
That dating's different now
Everyone meets in cyberspace
They said they'd show me how

They taught me about tinder
About swiping left and right
A sweetie shop for adults
Based on face and weight and height

They told me to use whatsapp
A call would be out of touch
Be clever, witty, funny
And do not message too much

They taught me about stalking
What Facebook can reveal
An addictive live commentary
On what people think and feel

They said it is a numbers game
You need to get through them fast
Do not waste time on dinner
Just a coffee to see if they pass

They said to play the field
But I haven't got too far
I keep wishing for the old days
When you met someone in a bar
