Prophesy

Prophesy
      by Bob Moore ©13 Jan 2022

Went shopping this morning
‘cause you never know
with Covid around
when you can finally go

The shelves may be empty
there’s nothing to buy
no bread and no milk
no frozen meat pie

The news had all told us
this would happen you know
so everyone panicked
and to the shops they did go

Self-fulfilling prophesy
caused by the news
came true in an instant
as panic ensued

Now they say “we were right”
and “we told you so”
we said this would happen
to the shops you did go

Bought stuff you did not need
but “just in case”
now it sits in your cupboard
just taking up space.
