Quarantine 2020

Walked into my favorite store
No doubt of where I'd go
Straight to the paper products aisle
As if other shoppers didn't know

Everyone looks like robbers
Hiding behind a mask
Trying to stay six feet apart
Is not an easy task

No parties, no family get togethers
Hiding from the world outside
Social distancing is now a thing
We take it all in stride

Kids are now on line to learn
Parents at their wits end
Wash your hands and sanitize
We video chat to see a friend

We've never moved so fast 
As we look out for our self
We jump ahead and rudely grab
The last package on the shelf
