Hoarding
I.
I thought this world crisis was a bit of a caper
and soon the long lines for goods would taper
but when I still go the store
there’s always so many more
all I’ve got left to eat is my stack of loo paper
II.
Due to the virus Bill hoarded beans
as stacks of them were within his means
but after eating so many cans
his butt alone could power vans
and he had to frequently wash his jeans

These “gems” were written for Chelsea Owens’s Terrible Poetry Competition. This weeks prompt was writing a limerick about stockpiling against a worldwide disaster.
Seriously I hope everyone is doing okay at the moment. I’ve not really mentioned the current state of affairs as I feel I’m being bombarded with more than enough information about the Coronavirus and its spread. My country is forcing visitors to two weeks of isolation. So far we’ve only had eight cases and no deaths thankfully. Think of my blog as a place to go for an interesting diversion from all the current issues besetting our world right now…

So you’ve finally answered the question of excessive toilet paper buying. It follows naturally upon the stock of baked beans. 🙂

Clever as always. 🙂 Funny also.
I never got back to the Star Wars post but life has been crazy here. Besides, I think we both have the maturity to be able to disagree some and still respect each other. 🙂
Keep up the awesome writing. Your stories help get me through all the chaos here. 😀
