A Wrap-Song

A man takes the wrapper And vices it into a ball The end of its purpose And to dustbin will fall The wrapper kept the product in place It kept it fresh in time and in space It kept it together and sealed it from harm It kept it warm whilst it still had some charm But a wrapper is opened And the product escapes The product is consumed Whilst from this the wrapper escapes The wrapper is taken To the recycling plant And given a new life A new journey’s start Funny how the trash does not end its career Whilst the prideful product Has so much to fear
