Shiiish
Shiiish
They plugged their ears
then taped eyes shut
such their lips were likewise sealed
they stayed at home
shopped online
for hats and shoes for deals
They closed their doors
then closed their minds
left all that trouble outside
skimmed the channels
perused the net
stayed awake till half past five
They heard nothing
or offered opinion
avoiding all current controversies
agreeing where necessary
smiling courteously
indulged in selfish photography
They died as it were
without warning or fuss
t'was announced on social media
Maggie and fred
were missing and dead
from googling and Hypoglycaemia
