Surviving the world-wide shortages.
Feed Yourself and Your neighbor. by Aussie
There are other ways to survive.

Second-hand clothes go round and round.
Buy for a penny not a pound.
gas is skyrocketing, what to do?
Must get to work and have transport too.

Rest awhile and think your thoughts.
Come, let us reason together.
Share a car, ride a bike; it's not that far.

Food is a worry prices are climbing.
And Meals on Wheels is slowly dying.

Plant some staples, they'll do fine.
Share a garden, yours and mine.

If you bury your head in sandy soil it will not grow.
A new bed of survival you need now.
Just sow and you can rest awhile.
Sow it; share it, walk or ride.

Stand back and watch your garden with pride.
Help a neighbor, all join hands.
Strive to survive with our new plans.

The Universe is impartial; it will throw you roses or garbage.
What did you ask for?
I decided on roses and lots more.




End note:
Turning back the hands of time to when we did survive in the tough times; bartering instead and using our wits to create new ways of surviving the world shortages.
Australian English and grammar are used.

Author Notes
All over the world not only in the US - we are experiencing hard times too; Australians have learnt to improvise through two World Wars and it is time to tighten our belts once again. We can win through if we take action now.
