Fanning the Flames In Indianapolis

Examining the sidewalks of Indianapolis
    reveals a surfeit of oranges and apples
  'Course we're talking about peels and cores
    over which anti-litterbuggers have started a war

  Well, it's a fight to the finish against urban blight
    in whose defense have arisen Proud Boys on the right
  For the freedom to litter whenever and wherever Americans desire
    ~ and cheer Lady Liberty's flame as it soars ever higher

Perhaps the compost bins were overflowing or the rats were still at the airport waiting on a flight.

Is this true, Gershon? There really are a bunch of naughty little boys (I assume male) throwing their food on the floor? Elizabeth

Nah! I made this one up. Imagination in overdrive tonight, I guess. Thanks, Elizabeth.
