Songs I Sing on Lockdown

Hello everyone, I have been doing a stand up comedy course with the excellent Funny Women this week and have learnt a lot from it. For the final day we had to write some stand up to perform on Zoom to the rest of the group. Instead my brain did this:

Little boxes on my laptop

Little boxes filled with everyone

Little boxes on my laptop 

And on Zoom we will remain

There’s the drunk one and the loud one

And the quiet one and the bossy one

And we're all stuck in our boxes

And on Zoom we will remain

And the people in the boxes 

They’re all stuck in with their families

Who are also in their boxes 

And on Zoom we will remain

And there’s low-paid low-skilled workers

according to the government

But we need them to deliver 

Cos shopping keeps us sane

So there’s no one on the golf course

And there’s no one in the restaurants

And the gin is gone by lunchtime

And on Zoom we will remain

And the children are all home schooled

And the parents haven’t got a clue

About fronted adverbials 

And on Zoom they do complain

And the grandfolks can’t use iPads

You can see all of their nasal hair

But they sit there in their boxes

And on Zoom we will remain

Here’s the drunk one and the loud one

And the quiet one and the bossy one

And we all stay in our boxes 

And on Zoom we will remain
