How to choose a backdrop

With all this Covid nonsense

meeting up is banned

travelling is frowned upon

the fires of hell are fanned

so  having to communicate

from home is the big thing

and how to choose a backdrop

and really what to bring

to peoples minds about you

rows and rows of books

selected  so as to give the impression

really they are  hooks

In the imagination

Picked up by the eye

whoever is a book worm

So it was worth  a try

people buying back drops

suitable titles  to

give the right impression

The emphasis on you

your identity

your genuineness

Perhaps some light relief

its true

it matters in this day and age

with foreign eyes on point

are you thinking out of  the box

whose nose is out of  joint

its about superiority

it can tip the scale

its all about comparison

with the titles do you fail

their scrutiny

their thoughtfulness

its considered in your form

considerate or meditative

Something they may warm

to

in a sense be drawn to

your culture and ideas

or maybe its shock value

and they go away in tears.
