Prophesy
Prophesy
by Bob Moore ©13 Jan 2022
Went shopping this morning
‘cause you never know
with Covid around
when you can finally go
The shelves may be empty
there’s nothing to buy
no bread and no milk
no frozen meat pie
The news had all told us
this would happen you know
so everyone panicked
and to the shops they did go
Self-fulfilling prophesy
caused by the news
came true in an instant
as panic ensued
Now they say “we were right”
and “we told you so”
we said this would happen
to the shops you did go
Bought stuff you did not need
but “just in case”
now it sits in your cupboard
just taking up space.
