It is odd how people fixate on things and decide to hoard certain items. Best of luck in the contest if it isn't over. I'm not so good at writing these short ones. Marilyn

I wrote it on a lark, just to see if I could. lol. I got 2nd place, which was encouraging, but also the best joke for the week!

Thank you, Monica! I was going for humor, so that makes me hapy. One reviewer took it very seriously and I thought, "Oops, I missed entirely!" So you're review means a lot to me.
You and yours stay safe and healthy, too!
Blessings.

This is so true and funny. When this is over we will have a lot of laughs.
You have the right amount of syllables.
Good luck in the contest.

Thank you so much for your kind words and the rating! I'm blown away by it. I read another funny one in the monorhyme contest (I think it's called) entitled Desparados. You ought to go take a look.
I do appreciate you so much. :)
Be safe!

Thank you again and be safe,

Well. Debora, as I observe on a regular basis: my dramatic school students actually graduate and are considered adults by the calendar year... 😉😉😏

This makes me laugh and cry at the same time. You are right.. It's definitely a norm for a while. Coming from an essential work, that tells you something... Good picture to go with. Well done.

THank you for reading, aKathleen!
I actually joined FS after the contest began and didn't realize it WAS a contest here! Having a 'duh moment...' I'll have to go look and see if it's too late to join I nthe fun. Because my intent is to write on per day...'Intent' being the key word, of course. Not a poet, so it could get a bit tight.
Than you for following! I'm glad my effort wasn't off-putting. :)
Blessings and be safe,

Nope, you spoke the truth. The shelves are indeed bare in places and it's disturbing. I write other things than poetry, but I haven't done a lot of it on here. Yes, the intent is to write, and that's why I thought I'd give this website a chance in the first place... So you are not the only one that wants to write more. :) Blessings, and you be safe as well.

This speaks state of living and status of the world today, grocery shops have no stocks, toilet papers are out of stocks at the breaking out of virus across the world; well said.

Things are beginning to llook a bit more normal here, except on the toilet paper aisle, for ome reason. I'm confused by that...Toilet paper? Really? We're a family of 7, and even when we're trying to be conservative with it...yikes. :/
I do appreciate your review!
Stay safe and be blessed.
