Where's My Steak Slice?!!
Funny, isn't it,
How I can't even get a steak slice now?
That's two days in a row,
At Tesco!
I KNOW;
I've heard about the shortages,
H.G.V lorry drivers, leaving the E.U -
(BREXIT),
Not to mention COVID-19 and all that!
You want me to provide the answers,
DON'T YOU?
Well...I wish I could,
But I'm not a politician.
The obvious solution is to reverse,
What was put in place, in the first place -
After all,
There's talk of issuing temporary visas,
To some sweaty European hauliers...
AND WHY NOT!
It's a solution, albeit a temporary one.
That's the trouble, isn't it?
Everything's only ever a temporary fix -
But that's life.
Now...

Totally agree. hahaha
I totally get not having your favorite things
because of a shortage. Who knows when things will get
back to normal. One baby step at a time. Some progress
is on the horizon - steak fingers crossed. hahahahah

Thanks for the kind comment, Adelphina. Glad it amused you. In the mocked up photo, the man is supposed to be an HGV lorry driver eating a steak slice that he himself would normally deliver in his 'Greggs The Bakers' truck (for artistic licence, even though I said Tesco, lol). 😊
