My Shitty Sonnet

It's Also My First

By Ian McKenziePublished 6 years ago 1 min read

It’s sad, but true, I don’t know what to do

Have dunny and money, but no tissue is the issue

Perplexed, distressed, I need to do a poo

Be aware, shop shelves are bare, issue still the tissue

Panic buying, crazy stockpiling, what is this disease?

Like sheep they flock and shelves destock, it’s madness

Not diarrhoea, it’s flu, extra paper, no need, stop please

Pensioners live mostly week by week, no paper causes sadness

Covid 19 a concern, from experts we learn, motivation!

Hygiene habits a must, in experts we trust, be strong

Social media is fun but not for facts information

Stockpiling, no vigilance, poor habits, all that is wrong

What can I do? I am still at the loo

Creative solutions required for after a poo
