Oh Chris,

If I had a six star let to give, I would glad give this amazing and fun read one. I really enjoyed this read, and yes this seem to be happening all over the country. Because my immune system is vulnerable, I try to stay out of the stores. I have three doctor's appointments next week, I really don't want to go but as always I pray and carry on. Thanks for sharing an amazing read.
Have a wonderful and blessed weekend.

Lots of love...Portia

This is really something. I'm still trying to figure out why the need for toilet paper. Because if it's going to go, it's going to go.

That said, this is a terrific poem on the subject, Chris. Excellent rhyme, metre and humour. :)

That poem is rife with attention to detail. Well done. You know, my son came by with extra things on Monday and when he gave me four packs of 16 rolls each of toilet paper, he said they were on sale. But, good for him, he was thinking.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I asked the director of our local cooperative food ministry where I volunteer what they needed most, so as not to have an overload of rice, beans, etc. She said TOILET PAPER. Not only were people in dire need, but there is no expiration date on it. Our church is now known as the one that takes care of the other end. You just wiped out my last six!

Chris,

Hmmmm... Not necessarily world-wide, I don't think. Not yet, anyway. This strikes me as a bit peculiar. *smile*

Just like when the weather forecasters announce the possibility of an extended snow front and suddenly every loaf of bread or container of milk disappears. Why? Can milk and bread somehow save your life in bad weather? Seems like there would be other stuff that might be even more helpful these days. Idk.

I'm not quite sure what all the rice, pasta and flour can do to help. Unless everyone is planning to 'bunker down' until the threat is over.

And if that's the case. those 24-pack rolls wouldn't even touch what you'll be needing. haha

A fun post.

Did you know that there's a school about 30-40 minutes from me - one of the colleges - that has already developed something to help with the coronavirus? They are sending it over to China as we speak. Isn't that awesome!? They have actually said that this virus is not as deadly as we have been led to believe. The only ones who are dying (terrible as it is) are those who area already infirm and in bad health -- the very old, for example. They say what we should be REALLY concerned about is an unavoidable and deadly influenza outbreak in the near future that will sweep the entire planet. (hmmm.... WHAT)

Enough rambling. *smile*

Thanks a bunch. I enjoyed(?)!

Have a marvelous weekend!

    Hi Robyn Thanks and stock up LOL It is awful here at the moment the shelves are bare and people can't buy it however I believe the big chain Bunnings a large hardware store in Australia have some so people are pouring into these stores to buy up It is being sold also on Ebay at huge mark ups What is the world coming to And yes This virus seems to be deadly to the elderly or those at risk. It is a shame that China didn't listen to the Doctor who first isolated it and warned about it in December 2019 instead ignored his warning ( No he is also dead from this virus how sad) Yes the flu is also just as bad and that has yet to come out. it is mass hysteria here thats all we hear about .
    Travels bans now in place however ai am off to Bali again in May yippee cant wait also going to Japan in Nov with my sister.
    I had fun writing this one even though it is now quite a serious problem here No toilet paper not so much the corona virus
    We have 40 cases in Aus 2 deaths both elderly.

    Anyway good to jear from you stay well and happy Cheers Chris

A very well-written fun poem that has also a serious tone. There are fear around the world that this virus will swipe us all from the face of the earth. The first thing people stock up is toilet paper.

What? Everyone is panicking already? Oh dear this is a worry. I have not seen this panic here yet. The corona virus is something we have to live with until there is a vaccine. Limiting the amount of time you spend in the company of strangers is wise, but panic buying will only make matters worse. I loved your jaunty rhyming poem Christine, love Dolly x
