Preparing to Zoom
Preparing to Zoom
Today I’ve been called to a meeting on Zoom,
I’ve sorted the bookcase and tidied the room
The app is downloaded, the microphone mute,
The phone carefully placed for a flattering shoot
I’m sitting up straight, trying hard to look thin,
Using angles which don’t show my large double chin
The dog’s in the garden, the kids not at home,
My mother’s been bribed not to call on the phone
I’ve practised my zoom face, not a scowl or a frown,
But I needn’t have worried as the internet’s down.
