Mark Rutte's Rules....(2) Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

now about something else,
just arrived,
I don't see a man who will serve me,
a very long line of carts,
with table and all complete,
before I forget:

now we must serve ourselves,
because the man should not earn that easy and lazy,

I first took the
disinfectant off the table,
sprayed my hands with it including the handles of the cart I got,

so that's how I went shopping at Albert Heijn,
of the man dying serves me,
seen nothing more,

in AH itself, not 1.5 meters apart in reality,
was that what Rutte had said serious or just madness?

People keep talking and repeating the rules Rutte said,
but no other person who follows it except
my own family and I,

I really get the hiccups,
not from fright,
but of the disposition,

Rutte has long been talking about fines and refunds,
don't think it's all your negative bills,
can meet

if that comes the refunds!
For clarity,
at Albert Heijn you just walk around every day shopping,

before or after Rutte's rules,
everything still the same grits,

everyone talks about the high fines,
but there are no 1.5 meters of distance,
at Appie Heijn and friends,

Rutte's rules are followed,
only in the mouth
and spat on the ground,

pronounced in the attitude and talking about
the distance to be kept, among the people

in reality at Appie Heijn,
nothing changed,

so the shopping people think:
look, that'sagain such an alien Dutch joke....


Poet's Notes:
(Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte does not know that his order and rules are not even followed by the people, despite the high fines he has listed,

yes, you can only keep rules if they are really supervised, for example by police to inspect the neighborhood,

but does the Netherlands have such large police corps groups?
This police group was enlarged in connection with the arrest of the IS goers who are back from abroad, many can no longer settle here, and soon become involved in fierce public fights.

Don't think this police group will be taken again with more police officers.
1.5 meters apart,
Continue to work at home andfrom your Laptop PC during Rutte's Quarantine period

that is until at least April 6 or no longer,
in any case, the schools, shops and restaurants will remain closed,
only open to collectors,
but the loss is very large,

therefore a window is already open
to claim back the damage incurred,

clever that the government is already doing this through the municipality, to calm the anger of those affected, before settling in a scuffle….
