The Sorrow Supply-Chain Crisis

How'd you like to borrow some sorrow
  I've plenty to give away
You say you'll come back on the morrow
  ~ But there's so much backed-up here today

If I can't say it in four lines, well I -- just add a fifth. Cheers, Paula.

Great, Valsa. I hope you don't mind, but the first cargo we need to move -- boxes of fertilizer. ~ Not-so-amazing-now, eh?

Enjoyed, but like all those cargo ships waiting to reach the dock, a great many sorrows may sink before they land! Aloha!

A lot of truth packed into this little quatrain, gw. I've been waiting six weeks for my new hearing aids. They called this morning and said they wouldn't be here until January 7th. So.....guess I'm a victim of the supply chain crisis.

I understand the Biden administration has slapped a $100 per day per unit fine on cargo on the ships in the harbors, and this has considerably speeded up unloading. So, the supply chain "crisis" may melt away pretty quickly. Hit 'em in the purse, where it hurts!

At least you will be able to enjoy Christmas sans drums!

Very nicely written, Gershon. But, I've a bad feeling about this... :0

Don't worry, Evelyn. Like most 'crises' these days, it serves the press and social media moguls purposes more than anyone else's. Yes, it's real. But is it overblown in the media? -- For sure. ~ gw
