Have a Very Plastic Easter

It is Easter time, don't forget to buy; a fake plastic basket for your kid's good time. Fake plastic grass, so green and shiny Fake plastic eggs lined up precisely With each new holiday, we are told to purchase, fake plastic memories for a fake plastic purpose. Fake Plastic trees for Christmas to usher. Fake Plastic hearts for Valentine lovers. Fake Plastic wreaths for the New Year's front door. Fake Plastic pumpkins for spooky Halloween decor. Now we have plastic oceans and plastic rain. plastic forests and plastic terrains. Plastic is now what the fish and whales feast on. Plastic is what we base our economy on. Plastic plates with plastic silverware, Plastic here, plastic everywhere. A fake plastic earth will be forming soon. With a fake plastic sun and fake plastic moon.

Well done, Rebecca Ann: A poignant approach to the brave new world. I recall a line in the movie, "The Graduate", where a business man is educating Dustin Hoffman with the word, PLASTIC.

Thanks Ralph! I read an article not long ago about a dead whale that was discovered on a beach, 70 pounds of plastic were found in the corpse's stomach. The production of plastic and plastic waste is out of control, there needs to be accountability.
