Essential vs. Non-Essential:
Having a burning for bagels, I walked
to the bagel store in full gear. They
were closed. So were all the other
bagel shops. However, every Dunkin’
Donut shop was open. So I have to
wonder what makes a donut more
essential than a bagel.
Good question–maybe Dunkin Donuts has a drive-by window? Guess not, you would have said. I’d like to reblog.

I didn’t know Dunkin’ Donuts shops were open. I googled shops in my area, after reading your poem, and you are right! That is madness.

Dunkin Donuts in our area are closed except for drive-thru. Fun poem!

Thanks, Eugenia! It’s odd for some to be open and others closed.

Some mysteries in life must remain and this is one of them. Did you get a donut???
