Such a heart touching poem and on a tissue paper where today people have started unnecessary hoarding tissue papers and sanitizers and everything they can get their hands on creating a pandemonium. This poem is so wanted at this time of chaos. Loved it, Kate.
Welcome Kate. All good though in India too we are being told not to come out of our houses a lot, work from home, not to be seen in crowded places, all functions have been closed, schools closed and hardly people r traveling also. What about your side Kate.
same same … our schools are still open, businesses are shutting, many without pay, nobody out or about anywhere … kinda eerie but my preferred lifestyle, so I’m sweet 🙂
Same here, I too am having a great time after retiring and go for my walks in the evening though yoga class too has shut down it’s k can do in the house. Economy will be affected and people going on regular jobs too. Both my daughter and son in law have been told not to come. She works in a school and he flies so both have to stay at home.
I take this occasion to wish you
Luck in finding a few rolls of tissue
And if that’s not enough….
Well, that’s just tough —
But it may be enough to piss you (off).
As we self isolate I’d go mad without the window into the world that is the internet! Thanks for the giggle (quote) and the touching poem – it does make one think…
I’ve just received a flurry of positive words and poems via email this morning…this poem is beautiful and so needed now (we’re struggling with long line-ups, empty shelves and panic buying at our stores as our province initiates “shelter in place”!). Thank goodness for the internet and virtual hugs, here are mine, Kate!
I was stunned to still see empty produce containers and shelves at one of our local grocery stores…I was on the hunt for a bag of organic carrots and luckily found some at my second stop…now the masses are clearing out our local liquor store shelves!!

yes Val, sadly many are not used to this … for me it’s a routine that resonates deeply, self isolation … but then I never had internet either 😉
