015 - No Richards

There are no Richards on the call

There’s a William and a Harry and a Mr Ball

But when we ask “who’s here y’all?”

There are no Richards on the call

There are no Richards on the call

No Richard White or Richard Small

This meeting has become a free for all

Because there are no Richards on the call

There are no Richards on the call

We have seven in the office - wait, is that all?

This Zoom meeting has slowed to a crawl

Because we have no Richards on the call

There are no Richards on the call

One is the Manager - he’d have stopped the stall

But he’s not here if I recall

No, we have no Richards on the call

We have no Richards on the call

The session’s turned into a brawl

Wait, someone’s dialing in from Montreal!

Richard is finally on the call.
