This Title Is Epic

PERHAPS FIFTEEN THOUSAND YEARS FROM NIOW SOMEONE WILL 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 purchased 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 to find paper or plastic, neither, 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

Your lil grandson will have to move to China where they have taken a very aggressive stance on plastic bags....they banned them! A nice lil idea of walking the reader through the grocery with you.....cool idea....could this be turned into a wrap song? I am not very musical so don't laugh; I feel a cool beat in here somehow! :) Another poem of yours with a higher purpose. That's what poetry is ALL ABOUT!!! Gwendolen.
