Zoom Party

A Halloween party on Zoom
Wouldn’t be too much fun, you’d assume
But you would be dead wrong
For I boogied along
With my daughter in our living room.

All the Zoomers wore costumes and danced
And the camera had each one enhanced
To fill up the whole screen
So each person was seen
As she shimmied; I watched it, entranced.

Every song had a danceable beat
Meant to get people up on their feet.
Some were Halloween themed
With the choices, it seemed,
Leaning less on the trick, more the treat.

Since participants can’t meet for real,
Zoom has obvious proxy appeal
And this special needs group
Got to boogie and whoop
With the joy every square did reveal.

I would have been doing the Monster Mash. Was that the music?

It's nice that there's zoom to relieve the gloom. And we'll truly return to the norm. But when that'll be, we'll just wait and see. For it's bound to take a different form.

Well done, ilene... and zoom is certainly tons better than a bunch of depressed people standing around in those infernal blue masks! Cheers, Gershon
