THE MASKED SHOPPER
It is hard to say just where
I picked up this chest cold.
According to the Pharmacist
" It is the damn air conditioning
In the Hospital! It is happening
All the time..." But I give them
The benefit of the doubt and say
Maybe I picked it up when we went
Supermarket shopping the day before.
It took three weeks of carrying
Out the awful task of clearing
My COPD debilitated lungs
I am left fatigued and angry.
So today I was the only masked
Shopper in the supermarket.
It went completely unobserved.
