You did a good job with a fun topic on a serious subject, Chrissy. YOur rhyme--end and some internal--are good. There is good flow and a good message, too. Who knows what will become limited. That virus seems to be spreading in the USA now and there is panic buying of many things. Stay safe. Thanks for sharing, Respectfully, Jan

This was great Christine. I liked the way you rationalize the need for as well as your plan to ration the humongous pack. Nice rhyme pattern. I think every country and even every state here has their own unique pattern for panic. For example the places which rarely get snow will stock pile on bread, water and milk when a snow storm is coming. Or for hurricanes, generators are a big item here. The coronavirus has scared a lot for sure. Well done and well enjoyed.

Enjoyed your humor in the recent coronavirus upheaval. Same as many earlier "scares" people have a tendency to panic it seems. Yes, I guess toilet paper could become an issue. Your poem is well rhymed and meter is good . The setup and picture are perfect. Hope you don't have any BIG issues with only one sheet - good luck on that :)) Thanks for the laugh. Carol

Hello Chris,
This is a wonderful satire on the panic buying going on in the world.
(No paper shortage here, at least, not yet!)
It's best to laugh, because there's little else we do, except be careful
and use common sense.
Great rhymes, meter and humor.
A twenty-four pack should last a long time.
Believe it or not, there is an ad on the site just under your poem for
a Squatty Potty (toilet). How's that for targeted ads.
Best wishes to you, stay safe!
Robert

It's a nice humorous take on the panic of the Coronavirus. I had to read this since this seems to be on everyone's mind at the moment. Interesting how people find the humor in the situation though, and it's nice to share a laugh, especially when you're nervous. estory

Chrissie - 'I think I might restrict the wipe to just one sheet for every swipe,' - Oh No! LOL. Great poem. Well written piece of work on the latest crisis. Our Boris has promised to send out the army, but not necessary yet. What the heck does he think the army will do. We are never prepared in this country for any crisis. According to the media - in 1939 Dunkirk was a victory. OMG! What next? Keep writing - this is a good read and made me smile which is always a good way to start the day. Love Dorothy xx

Oh yeah this is the case worldwide these days! With the scare and panic Corona has caused! Even the prices of face-masks have been hiked several times over and there is an increase risk of shortage of such items as well! I guess one can never be too careful!
