What if the Banker Had to Stand in Line at Your House?

 

HOURS 1000-1100 and 1400-1500

 

What if the banker had to stand in line

          (six feet apart, please)

While you stared blankly at a computer screen

And finally mumbled, “Howc’nIhelpyoutoday”

While chewing gum and hardly looking up

 

What if the banker asked you a question

          (a mask is recommended)

And after a long, unproductive silence you mumbled

“notatthishouseyoucoulddoitonline”

Or “that’snothowyournameisinthesystem”

 

What if the banker actually did her job

          (WHAT!?)

Instead of balancing out her resume’?
