                  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’?
