Hamsterkauf

Rating: 5.0


As Covid rolls on,
who are stripping
the shop-shelves
of toilet rolls;
who can't countenance
cut-up scraps of cloth
or water and dactyls?

They are, I'm pretty sure,
who read newspapers no more.

Hilarious and perfect with fitting picture. Yes what a panic. Isn't it just the media creating the panic? Well done Douglas.
