Hoarding Reward

Darn covid has most surely created,
toilet rolls as the product predated,
and I reached my goals;
hoarded two hundred rolls,
but suffer from being constipated.

Hello Michelle ... as soon as the media gets onto these things the floodgates open. Can you imagine houses being robbed for toilet paper - thanks Michelle - Lindsay

Um...boy! Now that a predicament. Great limerick.

Hello M.L. ... it deserved some punishment of discomfort - thanks M.L. - Lindsay

Hi Laurie, A very amusing limerick but even more amusing is that it has become common in how people shop these days! Take Care, Paulette

March 16, 2021 at 10:32 PM

Hello Paulette ... how true your comment. I have no idea of why toilet paper was targeted to cause fighting in supermarkets over one roll - thank you Paulette - Lindsay

March 4, 2021 at 7:01 AM

LoL. Good one Lindsay. Take care. I hope all is well today :)

Hello Heidi ... pleased you enjoyed this one Heidi. We've done it really hard in the state of Victoria for twelve months with restrictions but now at present there are no cases here - fingers crossed - thank you Heidi - Lindsay

Go to any drugstore that has plenty of different brands of laxatives. Great funny write.

Hello Robert ... correct, but how do we know which ones really work. Pleased you enjoyed this limerick Robert - Lindsay

Oh so clever, Lindsay, amazing how funny true situations from dire consequences can be. Prune juice does it for me....Brilliant Limerick, love it.

March 5, 2021 at 4:10 PM

Hello Harry ... it seems humour is the result of dire consequences in most cases. It's great when we can laugh at ourselves and share it. Prunes, banana in possible is my daily starter - thanks Harry - Lindsay

Fun poem my friend - constipation, I think three quarters of the worlds population suffer from this complaint. An enjoyable read Lindsay. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

March 5, 2021 at 4:05 PM

Hello Jennifer ... yes, and it can be very serious. It's possibly modern diets, so it's a wonder makers of toilet rolls don't give a bottle of prune juice if you buy five rolls - Pleased you enjoyed it Jennifer - Lindsay

Not a good outcome, Lindsay ;)

March 5, 2021 at 4:01 PM

Hello Angela ... no; everything ended up going pear shaped - thank you Angela - Lindsay

Oh my. That would definitely help preserve one’s stock pile. This is hilarious, thanks for the chuckle. ;0)

March 5, 2021 at 3:59 PM

G'day Richard ... a good case of deservedly so. Pleased you had a chuckle after reading this - Lindsay

February 27, 2021 at 3:45 PM

They do say be prepared with one and a spare but two hundred, where do you keep them all. Hilarious Lindsay ~ Belle

March 5, 2021 at 3:56 PM

Hello Belle ... at the time; under lock and guard. At one stage they were worth more than gold due to hoarding. Pleased you got a chuckle out of the irony Judy - Lindsay

February 27, 2021 at 7:30 AM

Too funny Lindsay. Have a cup of Licorice Spice tea and stop worrying. Everything will come out fine. This made me laugh. Go Bless, JB

March 5, 2021 at 3:53 PM

Hello Judy ... I've read licorice is great but can also raise blood pressure. Being constipated probably does the same. Pleased you got a giggle here Judy - Lindsay

Only 200 rolls ha ha Lindsay: If you ever get unblocked you will have lots to deal with it. SuZ

March 5, 2021 at 3:49 PM

Hello Suzanne ... one ironic laugh out of some hoarders. They came home and found their dog had ripped the lot up. Could hardly believe toilet rolls became news headlines - thank you Suzanne - Lindsay

February 26, 2021 at 4:48 PM

G'day Gershon ... I never thought I'd see fighting in supermarkets over toilet rolls but there was. Loved your comment Gershon - Lindsay

February 24, 2021 at 11:16 AM

You should head to the pub and drink more! But beware the toilet paper as they have lobbed off about two-inches from the width! Aloha! Rico

March 5, 2021 at 3:37 PM

Hello Rico ... I hope those who hoarded 500 rolls are stuck with them now. Some hoarders tried to sell them back to the supermarkets and guess where they were told to go - thanks Rico - Lindsay

Heeeelarious, Lindsay. Bad timing on your part, I'd reckon! Bob

March 5, 2021 at 3:30 PM

G'day Jan ... unbelievable it was. You couldn't buy a roll of toilet paper anywhere. Some even offered it on ebay at inflated price of course - thanks Jan - Lindsay

February 24, 2021 at 12:55 AM
