I Like Getting Up Early

I like getting up insanely early
Why people ask me?
Because I love going to Wal-Mart when there are no shoppers.
It is Covid.
Wal-Mart is locked.

No problem.
I go to the bakery.
A sign says “closed; cannot afford to pay hourly wage.”

Okay.
What about a pharmacy?
A sign on the door says
“Computers down. Come by later.”

Okay, maybe getting up early is not working out today.
