How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways.
I sorrow til I can be free of thee and back in classroom
With only bad memories of the days and nights of Zoom
Crowding my screen with people who wish to be transparent
I hate you with the heat of a thousand sun filled rays
You never send my messages to who they are intended
My voice and an alien’s, these you have always blended
One wrong number in a Zoom ID, I become a student errant
I wish for asynchronous or even class by email
I am required to use camera, even if I loathe it so
Because, when I’m present, you see one fatigued female
I sorrow til I can be free of thee and back in classroom
With only bad memories of the days and nights of Zoom
Crowding my screen with people who wish to be transparent
I hate you with the heat of a thousand sun filled rays
You never send my messages to who they are intended
My voice and an alien’s, these you have always blended
One wrong number in a Zoom ID, I become a student errant
I wish for asynchronous or even class by email
I am required to use camera, even if I loathe it so
Because, when I’m present, you see one fatigued female
