Meet Me On The Internet comical poem 596 version 1 by Angela Lansbury

Version 1

Joyful Meeting

Meet me on the internet

Set an alarm you can't forget

We have a link, we'll meet on zoom

 I've tidied up my messy room

I've chosen my best clothes to wear

I cleaned my teeth and washed my hair

Recorded jokes and canned laughter

Filled a whisky glass with  - water

You know I'm not a lazy fool

And I'm prepared to follow rules

All my friends say that I'm steady 

You asked me to say I'm ready 

But you must have had bad moments

Some sensible moment of doubt\

When you checked on me everywhere

I bet you've thoroughly checked out

You're sure that you won't come to harm

So you have set up an alarm

To wake you at the crack of dawn

Waiting for new thoughts to be born

You know that we can set things right

And that's why you'll sleep well tonight

After years of struggle, sorrow

We'll make a new start tomorrow

Was it just a scam or scary con?

Like others you have checked me out

 Just meet me on the internet

For a meeting you won't forget.

I have at last found and formulated a standard style of my poems, octameters, eight syllables.

The rhyming scheme is usually aabb, two rhying couplets.
