Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

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.

Tom Cunningham March 13, 2020 at 6:18 PM 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
