Panicked shoppers filled their carts,
Things more than they needed.
To be safe to weather weeks in quarantine or complete lockdown,
And with young children in the house food runs out fast.
My friend too,shopped enough necessary items to last for three months,
Being Asian/Indian she shopped more of lentils, all types of flour, oil, ghee , vegetables and meat.
The hitch came when she had to store the groceries,
So they decided to buy another refrigerator,
Most stores they toured had all refrigerators  SOLD OUT!.

I wondered how the people would store so much foodstuff.
