when shelves are bare, Old Mother Hubbard… when bread, butter and eggs only find themselves on a politician’s spread, will we still believe what the Jedi says? 1/13/2022

Hi Kim, people are returning from the Christmas holidays in the thousands and filling up pantries and fridges, children returning to school etc. Therefore supermarkets, stationery shops and shops that sell school uniforms, their shelves will be somewhat empty, but fill up soon again I'm sure, hope I'm somewhat right in my interpretation of your write. Great poetry. Hugs, blessings, Jennifer.

An attempt of political justification by some, doesn't change the reality of what's at hand. An excellent inquiry, with humor on the side! Nicely done!!ab

I agree with what Andrea said, Kim. What did the Jedi say????

Not fixed on any particular one just the direction we are going in. We can pretend but it will come our way. Hoping people get back to work and we see violence fall and shelves and lives back in order.

I can't remember what the Jedi said, but I sure like your poem, Kim.

The Jedi would make people say and believe what he said. Thanks, sweet lady! I don’t know if you are finding bare shelves but we are. Disconcerting.
