All is well

System 2
I reach for the honey
But the cupboard is bare!
Where’s the honey?!!!

Porridge goes cold as I hunt for honey
System collapses
Shock ensues
Phonecalls are made
Texts sent
No response
No one knows where the honey went
Take lap top to a quiet room
Gather composure
Regain perspective
Resort to using Golden Syrup
