Humans Vs Covid-19 At the Grocery Store

Written by Gail R DeBole on May 30, 2020 (A Song) Trying to stay alive at the grocery store. Trying to safely get to aisle four. You avoiding me. Me avoiding you. Trying to get to aisle four. Trying to get Trying to get Trying to get To aisle four. Trying to stay Trying to stay Trying to stay Alive in the grocery store. Finally found my food Not in aisle four. Now I have to pay And safely walk to the door. Finally found my food Finally found my food Finally found my food In the grocery store. Now I have to pay Now I have to pay Now I have to pay And get out through the door. You avoiding me. Me avoiding you. The COVID-19 foe Has us acting All confused. What a powerful foe! Back and forth we go. Trying to avoid the virus Wherever we go. Trying to stay alive Trying to stay alive Trying to stay alive Wherever we go!

Hey Pigeon, Thanks so much for your words of encouragement. I was actually in the grocery store when I started writing this in my head and couldn't wait to get home. Thanks again for letting me know that you found some humor in it. Stay well.

Hello Gail DeBole, yes with this virus now we must be careful. Six feet apart in the stores. But not everyone fallow the rules. So we struggle to buy groceries. Enjoy your day my friend.

Yes, I would definitely have a chat at a safe distance. It would be friendly, but quick. Looking forward to when we can put this behind us.

Hello Darlene, Appreciate your attention to my poem/song. I don't think it can hurt to follow the rules, but it can cause problems if we don't. Sometimes, we make sacrifices for a better future. Stay well! Maybe we'll avoid each other in the grocery store sometime. LOL!
