Corona the Mad Scamper

It is a mad scamper for food and grains, These are often people with less brains, Fill up their trolleys with things they don’t need, store up their kitchens for generations to feed! What is it now about this greed for toilet rolls? Buying hundred at once for terminal goals! The Virus starts from nose up to the lung, It does nothing to influence human dung! They don’t know a thing about hand sanitation, They never washed their hands after ablution, Now suddenly they want to be super clean, But storing hundred hand sanitisers is obscene! Gran of eighty five is hovering in the store, Limited pension allows for now and no more, Two fruits, some bread, milk is all she wants, But stores are empty thanks to their haunts! This is a crisis like never seen in many years, That has brought suffering, death and tears, This is a test to bring your values to the fore, To reach out and help humanity even more!

Nicely framed constructive criticism of the hoarders... I share your astonishment at the TP hoarders. Take care and stay healthy, Krish! Best wishes, Gershon

Your last stanza is perfect...We are humans and it's frightening... kind of a wake up call...it show how people panic in crisis...

Thanks Arturo! Just goes to show the caveman is still around and has been using modern gadgets! That’s all! All teachings of religion and philosophy defeated!

True, stores are running low on everything - I have to ration my toilet paper! Hopefully things will be back to normal soon (and I hope you are keeping safe)
