Teacher VS Zoom

Mrs cooper fin’lly switched to zoom
It took her very long,
I’m guessing that it was because
She couldn’t turn it on.
But now she fin’lly sent the link,
We were surprised she dared.
But when we answered to the call
Her voice we couldn’t hear.
 
The audio could not be found,
Her lips were moving too.
We told her to hold down the mic
That simply wouldn’t do.
Fin’lly Mrs cooper spilled
her papers everywhere
The binder hit the keyboard,
And allowed the screen to share
(Poor mrs cooper was confused
She didn’t get this thing called zoom).
 
Our teacher started hitting buttons
As if it were a gong,
We tried to help, then heard her voice
It didn’t take too long.
Then we had to help her out
In ending the screen share,
It took a lot of clicking
But she fin’lly saw us there!
(oh mrs cooper was so pleased,
As if she got a gift of teas) 
 
Mrs cooper we could fin’lly hear
We said that she looked nice.
Then she hit a button
And we only heard her voice.
Mrs cooper somehow managed
To turn her video right off.
We told her how to move the mouse
And find the ‘camera stuff’
 
She eventually succseeded
When she sneezed on the machine,
And it was to our great surprise
Her eye was all that’s seen.
“Back up!” we chuckled to the screen,
“We only see your nose”
Oh gosh its better than nothing!
Our poor teacher did suppose.

Mrs cooper showed us nose and butt
And almost left the chat
But fin’lly she figured out
Where the camera sat.
Mrs cooper was prepared to start
And with joy we shout.
Then someone pointed out to her
Time was running out.
(She tried to add 10 minuets more
Her laptop wound up on the floor,
A virtual background then appeared
Of shrek and donkey with a beard)

we had five minuets left in class
She started laughing with us.
Next time mrs cooper did proclaim
She said she’s gonna call us...

  • A Space Among The Stars

    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to get binoculars
    To see the dentist on the moon
    And find the next Uber at noon.
    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to float to school in cars.
  • Frost

    Its fingers were hot
    and cold and
    sweet and dark.
    All at the same time.

    Sleeeeep. 

    It whispered in her ear.
    Her petals shivered.
    Its breath ran slowly
    down
    her stem and
    tickled a leaf.
