    So would they panic buy

    again?

    'Twas not a case of it but

    when

    It started early yesterday

    When toilet roll just rolled

    away.

     

    Then tinned tomatoes all

    ran low,

    I drew a blank in Tesco,

    so

    I turned to Waitrose in a

    huff

    But they were low on other

    stuff.

     

    For tins and bread I didn't

    look far

    I did not need to go to the

    Spar.

    And women fought like

    seasoned mobsters

    Over two remaining lobsters.

     

    They'd put a limit on quails'

    eggs,

    Leaving me with just the

    dregs.

    Aldi was a different story,

    Got some goodies, felt

    the glory,

     

    But there I saw a pair of

    fools

    Stocking up on paddling

    pools.

    While there's no issue

    finding crumpets

    The store has put a cap

    on trumpets.

     

    You may be OK buying

    rice

    But welding kits sell in

    a trice.

    So pop in quick for your

    best buys,

    Things disappear before

    your eyes.

     

    For me, I feel, let's stop

    this madness

    Panic buying leads to

    sadness.

    I'll just think, who gives

    a damn?

    There's always that old

    tin f Spam.

     

    Shopping each and every

    day

    Does nothing to cure my

    own dismay.

    I can soon blow off the

    shopping dust

    And face Fray Bentos

    if I must!

     

    THE END
