Gershon Wolf Poet Sonnet

Breaking News on Tossing Trash

We used to think about the stars
  more distant than the planet Mars
But now we only think of Earth
  which puts a damper on our mirth

For on the ground and in the air
  There’s so much crud we just can’t bear
So all of you who toss your trash 
  You ought to be, but aren’t abashed

Be warned! We have a brand-new plan
  That we are sure will soon you land
In jail in your respective towns
  And change your smiles to ugly frowns

So if you like your freedom, guys
  Don’t toss your trash! ~ A word to the wise
