I Don't Get It!

Lack of truck drivers causes stress;

What’s with this mad rush to possess?

With COVID-time to contemplate

Such buying frenzies fail to sate…

 

My two feet do not need more shoes;

Well-lit displays are just a ruse

To get us into fashion stores;

Do I rebel without a cause?

 

Light summer garb now cast aside

We wrap up warmly when outside

And nothing daunted, done by halves:

I turf out all my gloves and scarves!

 

My favourite woollens I can tell

Still soft and cosy, serve me well.

While long-sleeved roll-necks and blue jeans

Mean happiness on slender means!
