We’re so close
And yet so far
I mean we’re literally
Sitting on the same sofa!

I speak but you don’t hear
That’s really nice, I smirk
It just goes to show that
Those headphones really work!

I guess I knew this would happen
Right at the beginning I knew
I’m a gamer’s wife, lamenting
But he doesn’t have a clue!

Nah! He’d rather be
On a planet far away
Or shooting enemies and monsters
Than be present here, now, today!

Oh! He’s back to reality
“Welcome back, hello there!
Done with your daily quota
Of pretend warfare?”

What’s that you say?
Play with you? Really?
I ponder for a minute there
Here goes nothing! Well, okay!

---

Well, there goes everything!
No housework will be done
No cooking, dishes or laundry
Until this game is won!

And all through the evening
And well into the night
We take on every challenge
We combat and we fight!

We’ll battle to the finish
Defend against every threat
And when we’re done
We’ll ride off into the sunset!
