Hi Ho, To the Supermarket We Go!
I have never seen my parents
Really quite so excited
Pouring over shopping lists
And looking so delighted
Mum putting on her dress
and kicking up her heels
Dad putting on his game face
To get the food to cook the meals
A little like a game of roulette
I wish them well on their caper
As most stores are out of stock
Of necessities like loo paper
Looking like a surgeon
They face off with their masks
Prepared to ward off the virus
They wait in line, 2 metres apart
And then like a bull to a flag
The store allows them in
And quickly they disappear
Down aisle’s and out again
Never did I think the mundane
Could bring such delight
And when the Alert is over
We deserve a SHOUTOUT for doing what was right
Be Safe
Be Kind

New baby?
Hi - I'm Olivia from Stuff (and a new mum myself).
I'm writing an article on the different challenges faced by parents around the country, from midwife availability and getting on wait lists for childcare right down to the food at birthing centres.
