Getting Together on Zoom

When getting together on Zoom,
It seems like we’re in the same room.
You might say just a face
Could in no way replace
Someone’s presence or warmth or perfume.

Yet, to me, the connection appeals,
For, though such a small picture conceals
The whole body below
What that square gets to show
Is enough to know how someone feels.

Sure, it’s better when hugs are exchanged,
But a Zoom can, with ease, be arranged.
There’s no travel involved
So such problems are solved
And the latest news gets interchanged.

I liked the limerick. I don't use zoom. I'm too paranoid. But those who use it like it.

During covid I used to log in with my cousins for a quiz on zoom. It was great to keep in touch that way, Tom
