The Fedex Truck

The FedEx truck is parked outside,
The boxes being piled,
Awaiting transfer home to
The apartment-domiciled.

Each package hits the lobby first
Where doormen do the sorting,
Relying on the numbers that
The carton’s label’s sporting.

The dwellers get a notice that
Their order has arrived
So no one feels that he or she
From shopping’s been deprived.

Containment days of quarantine
May keep us all indoors
But FedEx helps to bring us
What we’re needing from the stores.

I imagine we had better get used to this. We had two deliveries today - dog food and cat food. Love the rhythm of this one.

long may it continue for them to provide this service. I am going to visit mum for the 2nd time today and take toiletries, they go into lock down at midnight it is a sobering thought that we may never see eachother again ... but long may our little island remain virus free :-) hugs Jan xx
