Caught in the Net


They chatted all night long
Mornings and evenings too
They talked on telephone
Danced to calypso beat

For hours they watched the cam
Lovers in Cyber space
The place were they first met
In real time at Christmas

They met and hugged boldly
They laughed and they did dined
Slept in the pale moonlight
They woke up to the songs

Of birds on hibiscus
Gymnastics of monkeys
Stealing fruits caught their eyes
The untamed world they see

In nature's wonder land
They frolicked on the beach
They looked at moon, the stars
Watched rainbows and sunsets

They swam in clear waters
Of the Caribbean
And gathered cute seashells
Took  lots of pictures too

They took mini-bus rides
Into the countryside
And they did lots more things
Typical lovers do

From their honeymoon isle
They said their goodbyes
They mounted gangway of
An electronic bird

This bird was very huge
And with its wings outstretched
Up, up, way in the sky
To their Kentucky home
