Hoarding Reward

Darn covid has most surely created, toilet rolls as the product predated, and I reached my goals; hoarded two hundred rolls, but suffer from being constipated.

Hello Michelle ... as soon as the media gets onto these things the floodgates open. Can you imagine houses being robbed for toilet paper - thanks Michelle - Lindsay

Hi Laurie, A very amusing limerick but even more amusing is that it has become common in how people shop these days! Take Care, Paulette

Hello Paulette ... how true your comment. I have no idea of why toilet paper was targeted to cause fighting in supermarkets over one roll - thank you Paulette - Lindsay

Hello Heidi ... pleased you enjoyed this one Heidi. We've done it really hard in the state of Victoria for twelve months with restrictions but now at present there are no cases here - fingers crossed - thank you Heidi - Lindsay

Oh so clever, Lindsay, amazing how funny true situations from dire consequences can be. Prune juice does it for me....Brilliant Limerick, love it.

Hello Harry ... it seems humour is the result of dire consequences in most cases. It's great when we can laugh at ourselves and share it. Prunes, banana in possible is my daily starter - thanks Harry - Lindsay

Fun poem my friend - constipation, I think three quarters of the worlds population suffer from this complaint. An enjoyable read Lindsay. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Hello Jennifer ... yes, and it can be very serious. It's possibly modern diets, so it's a wonder makers of toilet rolls don't give a bottle of prune juice if you buy five rolls - Pleased you enjoyed it Jennifer - Lindsay

Hello Belle ... at the time; under lock and guard. At one stage they were worth more than gold due to hoarding. Pleased you got a chuckle out of the irony Judy - Lindsay

Too funny Lindsay. Have a cup of Licorice Spice tea and stop worrying. Everything will come out fine. This made me laugh. Go Bless, JB

Hello Judy ... I've read licorice is great but can also raise blood pressure. Being constipated probably does the same. Pleased you got a giggle here Judy - Lindsay

You should head to the pub and drink more! But beware the toilet paper as they have lobbed off about two-inches from the width! Aloha! Rico

Hello Rico ... I hope those who hoarded 500 rolls are stuck with them now. Some hoarders tried to sell them back to the supermarkets and guess where they were told to go - thanks Rico - Lindsay
