Isn't it funny how people panic
Over the trivial, the mundane?
When there are bigger issues
About which we could complain.
Our world will still revolve,
No one is certain to die
Without people pilling up
Tons of toilet rolls so high!
It's an inconvenience,
A troublesome trifle at worst;
And yet, many fretted and worried,
Their lives seemed so accursed!
The Supermarket shelves
We're emptied and became bare
Because someone desperate
Listened to a malicious scare.
It was then that the traffic
Caused a blockage hard to clear,
Eventually, when it did,
There was an almighty cheer!
The global panic calmed down
When there was an increase in supply,
And people realized that
The end of the world was not nigh!
Still, we can be certain that
Another panic will be here,
And people will worry again -
Better not be a shortage of beer!

Congratulations on a neat little rhymer on the toilet tissue riots!
Was fun to read, because the thing seemed widespread, to some extent irrational and needed a takedown I think.
However I reread the stanzas and couldn’t quite discern your take on covid more generally. Care to clarify?
Welcome to MPS (traditional greeting here). Apparently you have no problem with responding on MPS, so I’ll dispense with that exhortation.
😄 "Been there, done that", as they say. Love the poem.
So funny..... so true!
