Grocery shelves are empty.
No Purell to be found
no wet wipes or paper towels,
but crazy shoppers abound.
No rice, no beans,
no milk, no bread
just plenty of Kale (ugh)
to keep us fed.
Nothing to do, nowhere to go
no sports, no school. OH NO!
But if you can find
some toilet paper
to wipe your ass
just say to yourself...
"This too shall pass."

by the way, I sent it to all I know so you might become and Internet Hit! I didn't show where I got it from though...I did show your name as credit.
(guess I should have asked you first but I was so enthused!)
