Short Supply
Not enough to go around
Necessities sold by the pound
Certain foods in short supply
Snatched from the shelves, why even try?
The virus is the cause to horde
Paper products, praise the Lord!
He might grant some sweet relief
And end this journey into grief
Until then madness reigns supreme
And life becomes a fever dream
Or nightmare as the case may be
Not subject to a lost soul's plea.

Hi dear Crowfly. It's the same situation here. I heard that bread is in short supply as the bakeries have shut down. Thankfully I have rice. Take care and be safe.

Dear C,
Oh how I wish I practiced the Mormon ideal of stocking home cupboards to last a year! Your thoughtful piece has a very soft meter to it in spite of its sad and unsettling subject matter. Very well done. I wish you much good health and an abundance of toilet paper! H🌷
