Keeping a Social Distance

KEEPING A SOCIAL DISTANCE With my barge pole in hand, I’m setting off to the shops Hoping that the deliverymen have made their food drops No worries here that anyone will get to me much to close With my barge pole in my hand I make a formidable force The shop’s security man isn’t arguing he as lets me pass Afraid to get into any fracas with some daft cow of a lass Aisle 1, chilies, onions, ginger, and garlic, all go in my bag Anything else that is healthy, no time here for a chin wag Aisle 2, seems there is a crowd gathering around the tins Heading in, with my barge pole, secured me of a few wins Shoppers shocked at my tactics, wished they had one to It also works spacing out others, waiting at the till queue Live and learn; I said; this here barge pole is here to stay As looking into my full basket, I did well I have got to say “Moral in my madness” . . .
