Coronavirus Distress

How did the dearth of Charmin come about?

   Of this and Angel Soft there is a drought!

      I needed some for myself

         But I saw an empty shelf

            Clerks said their stock of such was all 'wiped' out!

I don't intend to be flip about a very serious situation but think we could all
use a smile during this stressful period in our lives.

Keep washing your hands, eating your veg and fruit and don't forget to have a Vitamin B injection ever 3-4 weeks - love the humor in all of your poems Bob - this one is very well penned. Blessings, Jennifer.

Haha love the final line Rob wiped out, I thought the same, we can try and rise above the doom and gloom with humour, it's all we can do. Worrying situation, stay safe, our government has told us to wash our hands singing happy birthday twice, unbelievable. Tom
