We are out of
eggs.
Our toilet paper roll is low;
get more milk, please.
No more coffee.
All oranges have been eaten.
The toothpaste tube is scrunched.
Go to market – get more,
replenish, never enough -
we are always out.
God is like that but, lo!
Who needs a car to shop?
The pantry within is full -
and open 24/7.
