Logging on, I greet my friends
This is when my mom walks in
"Who is this you speak to?"
"My friends" is my answer

She questions and conspires
She imagines wild things
The fantastical imagination of a mother
The false things she has learned

Logging on, I greet my friends
This is when my dad walks in
"Who is this you speak to?"
"My friends" is my answer

He questions and conspires
He imagines wild things
The fantastical imagination of a father
The false things he has learned

Logging on, I greet my friends
This is when my dog walks in
"Woof woof" and "bark bark"
"My dog" I tell my friends

He doesn't question at all
He only imagines friends
The fantastical imagination of a dog
The false expectations he creates

Logging on, I greet my friends
This is when my cat walks in
"Meow meow" and "hiss hiss"
"My cat" I tell my friends

She doesn't question at all
She only imagines enemies
The fantastical imagination of a cat
The false expectations she creates

Logging on, I greet my friends
This is when my family walks in
"Who is this you speak to?"
"My friends" is my answer

They question and conspire
They imagine wild things
The fantastical imaginations of a family
The false things they learn

Logging off, I say "goodbye"
This is when my friend says four words
"I'll see you tomorrow"
I never saw him again
