Thank you Shop workers

Unsung heroes

Thank you Shop workers

As Im standing here and queuing, on my weekly shopping trip

I ponder on the changes, on how we’ve altered it

The queues outside are lengthy, we are stood quite far apart

It will be a while, before the shopping starts

The staff are being so helpful, telling people where to go

Clear indications everywhere, incase you didn’t know

They’ve go better stocks of items, now that people have calmed down

And even though their worried too, staff never seem to frown

It’s actually quite simple, these things they’ve put in place

They’re just here to protect you, so don’t wear a grumpy face

Shops staff are just heroes, ones that aren’t yet sung

So please don’t keep on moaning, about the things that they have done

They’ve families too, children, just like you and me

But whilst we need our shopping , they’re here for you and me

So thank you unsung heroes, whether stacking shelves or on the tills

Whether a cleaner in the aisles or pharmacist dispatching pills

You’re doing this to help us, and that we understand

So thank you all shop workers, at risk for us across the land
