Perhaps He Wi'Ll Find the Plastic Jug We Threw Away Today

PERHAPS HE’LL FIND THE PLASTIC MILK JUG WE THREW AWAY TODAY My family demanded “come on and take this car and park it” Oh heavens, wifey poo, what happens if we’re late for the market I really didn’t want any more loud conversation and neither did she And to see if I was close enough to the curb she actually measured it accurately So we go through the islands of rising prices And the snack aisle was arranged by a demon’s devices, We passed cookies and cakes, bread and bottled water And of course condoms for our sixteen year old daughter Our daughter is hyper-concerned with what we do today She checks out the products and what the ingredients say While little Billy is acting silly on isle six because that’s what children do And he gets Fruit Loops or he’ll hold his breath until his face turns blue My little girl said “this one is made of glass, and this one is made of plastic| Dad, please tell Billy to be quiet because the situation is drastic Glass can be recycled but plastic will be here for my great grandson’s great grandson to find” Then the cashier asked “paper or plastic” and my daughter said “we brought a cloth bag because recycling should be in every heart and mind” © 2011.…Phreepoetree Please help me save this puny planet that pathetic people are pissing or puking upon purposefully........ in good shape for Mr. Travis Ian
