Corona Cabin Fever

I have
a squirrel-like stash of food
Two cases of paper towels
72 rolls of TP
Read seven books
Cleaned out the bottom drawer
Washed the cat
Run out of band aids 
Found a coloring book and some crayons
Colored outside the lines
Refused to watch daytime TV
Contemplated my navel
Removed the lint 
Done a push-up
Vacuumed under the couch
Watched the weather 12,368 times
Found a spoon
Started digging the tunnel

You forgot the cool poetry. Thanks for reading my nephews poem which I posted on computer on his behalf. Didn't know computers had sat in on scrabble. They are gate crashing all the best games although I don't place scrabble in that category with everybody asking the computer for advice and those whose eyes aren't square standing no chance of winning unless they can make word why. Catch you again soon if I able. David in NZ

Very wry and all too close to home, sometimes I want to tunnel under the wall! (At least you are stocked up on TP, we are running low)
