"COVID SHOPPING 29/4/20

2 meters forwards, 2 meters back

Don’t dare cross that crack

Social distancing is what we know

Determining the places we can go

Strange way to shop in a store

Following arrows stuck on the floor

Are masks the things to wear

Do I bother or should I care?

Don’t touch unless you’re buying

Why are there no eggs for frying

Come on guys can’t you see

No need to hoard food like me

This food is at its expiry date

But to buy another I’ll have to wait

I had a list when I came through the door

But now I following arrows on the floor

Those decisions that I have to make

Unclear as which direction to take

I am now going against the flow

Definitely it’s the wrong way to go

Tell me what am I to do

I’ll have to rejoin the queue

I notice I’m not the only one bemused

So many empty shelves have us confused

I think I’ll have to call it quits

Shop another day for the missing bits

That’s the story of the COVID shop

Go around in circles until you drop

Not a good phrase to end a COVID rhyme

But making poems keeps me busy all the time

From my brother Patrick Cheyne, meanwhile I am in complete isolation for 12 weeks, is that what it is like out there? Keep it up big Brov!
