The Heroes Supermarkets New Zealand
Dear supermarket workers,
Thank you. For putting up with this epidemic enough to keep us eating. It must be hard having to leave your bubble To sortout food fights And toilet paper turmoil And disinfectant dramas And rationing rules Keeping up with ever-changing regulations Not knowing if the people who visit your store are sick Or if you might get sick Or what will happen next You soldier on for the greater good Spending your days on the front line In the war against Covid-19 You are the everyday heroes And on behalf of the people in my isolation bubble I say Thank you.
