ONLINE CLASSES
Oh what a tough time this year
No student’s got even a second to spare
But I hope your experience might have been same too
Cuz these classes have started, out of the blue
listen “beep beep” the alarm goes on
And the time for classes has started from now on
First class is of chemistry
And then maths, English and biology
“oh mom where have I lost my things?”
They were beside my bed, just where my alarm rings!”
Oh thank god, they are lying on the shelf!
And oh, I am so proud of myself!
“Kindly share the link miss” I type
“It has been sent if you are able to swipe”
Oh sorry I type, ashamed of myself
How I wish that this could end
Slowly slowly ,I also join in the ride
And all the participants have come into sight
“miss I am unable to view your screen”
I spoke up trying not to be mean
“Honey it maybe your net fault”
Cuz you were not audible to me when you called
And lets not waste time on these things
I think we should rather start, what do you think?
“yes miss you are right” however she was not
But I spoke so confidently like a cleverbot
“so students kindly mark your attendance
Cuz I am not so clever at remembrance!”
and the class moves on gradually
As I constantly see the clock up in the gallery
Then I rest my head on my arms
And then miss speaks something and I get alarmed
“so any questions dear” politely she asks
I unmute myself, thinking from where to start
“No miss, I really got your point”
And then quickly I leave the class I had joined

- Comment from author about the poem: ahhhh....i dont really think i need to explain furthur guys, cz u ALL have anywhere anytime experienced these sort of "online blues",....including those hilarious moments of not answering ur teacher or leaving the class as soon as she asks something, lets be honest, we are all mischevious as teens....well, online class has become a sort of infotainment...if i am not wrong...hope u all agree😂😂😂

'But I spoke, so confidently
like a cleverbot'..
what a wonderful depiction, you've shared,
some of us oldies, can't share
in your experience of online lessons
but, it always amazes me
how, despite the differing context and circumstances
some, of the same underlying themes
continue to be experienced by future generations..
(yes, we too
were too busy, trying
to just keep-up with the actual lesson
and taking what pitiful notes, we could;
that often we would go through
a whole day of lessons, without
learning a single new factoid..
good thing, those smart friends we so purposefully
chose to keep around, somehow knew everything - eh? lol)
thanks for sharing, such a fun read
hahaha....thank u soo much...i never had thought my poems are on such a level, but only month ago i just started publishing on this site and the level of appericiation i got..that was DAMNN....and thanks so much for highlighting the lines of my poem u loved...it means soo much to me
also check out my other poems as well.....that will be much favour!!
As well and truly a Senior who is comfortable with an old clunker of a pc with still Windows 7, I've tried skype and one or two of its clones for ordinary committee meetings and I just don't feel comfortable there.
You have my every sympathy if you are expected to attend lectures that way. Must be very alienating.
Your write says it all.
yeahh....really...tysm for ur kind words!!!..stay tuned
