[ Alternate intro: I filked some Paul McCartney lyrics (x2) ]

Ah, let’s have all-remote conventions.
Ah, let’s have all remote conventions.

Ellen O’Figby, still in the chair where she sat while a wedding was beamed,
Squints at her screen.
Starts up her window, wearing a mask that she keeps on a hook by the door.
Who is it for?

Chorus: All-remote conventions:
How would we do without?
All-remote conventions:
How will this all turn out?

Kenji McFarley, washing his hands at the sink when he brings in the mail,
Joins without fail.
Look at him singing,
Moving his mouth for two verses that nobody hears,
Then disappears.

(Chorus)

Ah, let’s have all-remote conventions.
Ah, let’s have all remote conventions.

Ellen O’Figby shows her location and pronouns along with her name,
Filling the frame.
Kenji McFarley belts out his song in the night but forgot to unmute.
Needs to reboot.

Chorus: All-remote conventions:
(Ah, let’s have all-remote conventions.)
How would we do without?
All-remote conventions:
(Ah, let’s have all remote conventions.)
How will this all turn out?
