"Curse of the Send Button", Geraldine Yeoh

May your inbox have multiple "reverts",
May your "for your approval pls" emails never be answered,
May you CC the people you mean to bcc,
May you accidentally hit the "send to all" button,
May you accidentally hit the "send to all" button in your company's mass mail group and your company be 500 strong,
May you message that dick pic to your boss by mistake,
May you email that too honest draft resignation letter before its time,
May your typos be comic relief, to your grammar nazi enemies,
May you never check twice before hitting e̶n̶d̶, send.

/ Geraldine Yeoh is a teacher. She would like to dedicate this poem to her friends in civil service who have had to deal with countless emails and “reverts”. She experiments with writing poetry, plays and stories when she is trying to hide from her 3 children.
