The Issue About Tissues

20 May 2021

Isn't it funny how people panic Over the trivial, the mundane? When there are bigger issues About which we could complain. Our world will still revolve, No one is certain to die Without people pilling up Tons of toilet rolls so high! It's an inconvenience, A troublesome trifle at worst; And yet, many fretted and worried, Their lives seemed so accursed! The Supermarket shelves We're emptied and became bare Because someone desperate Listened to a malicious scare. It was then that the traffic Caused a blockage hard to clear, Eventually, when it did, There was an almighty cheer! The global panic calmed down When there was an increase in supply, And people realized that The end of the world was not nigh! Still, we can be certain that Another panic will be here, And people will worry again - Better not be a shortage of beer!
