+<poem>Today is the day
+That I'll turn off my cell and I
+Won't tweet, won't log into Facebook
+If you want to talk to me you can come over
+The door is wide open and I
+Won't have the TV on
+No video games, no videophone
+'Cause it's finally time
+To leave all that behind and
+Start getting it right
