a scramble to stock up

a quarter sliced off
is not good enough a protection
used to be an apple a day
to keep the doctor away
not any more that holds sway
now that many doctors
have all gone bananas!

yes, bananas!
vitamin B6 laden
to boost the immune system

a scramble to stock up
the answer to the corona virus
in the absence of a potent serum
bananas to exert confidence
face masks not enough protection

mindful of a new-found insistence
a banana a day
to keep the pesky corona virus away

  11. Bananas have long been a staple at our house. Good heavens, I hope bananas don't become in short supply! At least the bonkers people who are stockpiling toilet paper can't stockpile bananas. They'd spoil! It does seem common sense flew out the window when corona virus flew in, doesn't it?
