When two notes

Missed by a generation of smart A pleasure missed by a generation/
phone app happy people of smart phone app happy people
who prefer to use their eyes instead.
I say listen,
the world is your octave.
Delete the tuning app from the smart phone
(delete the smart phone from the planet)
and one day you'll hear the fridge
is slightly out of tune with the kitchen light. almost cut 'is',your call.
And when you fluke
that one in a million fart is it one in a million or daily? Depends on your diet, I say.
that's in-tune with the commercial jingle
you'll laugh because you know.
... and who wouldn't want that?
