It’s At Canford You Really Want To Be

A jumper over a pyjama top,

A dog curled over two feet,

A phone to definitely not check to one side,

To the other, a comforting cup of tea.

 

The satisfaction of seeing other people,

The relief of a moment with camera off,

The extra-curricular activities all virtual,

And the easier preps when the day has been tough.

 

The email with the link to a video lecture,

The OneNote page with some document,

The text from a friend reminding you of a lesson,

Or paying your hoodie a virtual compliment.

 

An alarm five minutes before lesson one,

An extra hour in which to sleep,

A shorter, slower, somehow more tiring day,

Which reminds you that it’s at Canford you really want to be.
