Let It Blaw’s August Committee.
Jist canna meet – an awfu pity.
They’ve tried since April – but in this instance
They maun keep apart and “social distance.”
–
The eight are like a boat-race crew
Working weel thegither in ma view
Like ony ither winnin’ eight
They’ve a Cox on board tae keep them straight.
–
Donald John’s frae this locality.
I.T.’s his thing – “virtual reality.”
His plan’s approved. The committee’s set
Tae meet care of the internet.
–
The COVID Curse is the excuse.
Tae meet wi’ each man in his hoose.
“Zoom” is the answer, on this date
“Online” they will communicate.
–
The Lothians – Mid, East and West
Were linked at Donald John’s request.
Balerno, Nittin, ”the Hidden toun.”
The Calders and the Lands arroun.
–
And by some devilish cantrip slight –
Each viewed a screen wi’ flickerin’ light.
Each marvelled at the stuff they’re hearin,
They knew that they were pioneerin’.
–
The “Minutes” Alex wrote at his leisure.
Were quickly winged away wi’pleasure.
The “Banes” were picked wi megabytes
Wi ony “Issues” pit tae rights.
–
Agenda items in succession
Were quickly dealt wi in this session.
Withoot a barman tae intrude-
“On Time” the meeting did conclude.
–
Like the Twa Dugs at the close of play,
They swore tae meet some ither day.
The Bard’s technophobic – He leaves tae Harry Potter
The “virtual world”- He has his jotter
And pencil tae communicate.
Fur the record, he maun state-
Wi “Zoom” he really has tae struggle –
I guess he must be classed a Muggle.
–
P.S. – I hope none here has the temerity.
Tae gainsay my record for posterity!
