Litterati

I really wish there were somebody Who could nail the litterati. Maybe those who access Twitter Could point out those folks who litter. Here’s a topic for some Tweets – Some trash I noticed on the streets: Paper plates from pizza places; Wrappers smeared with candy traces. Skinny covers once from straws, Nasty notes that gave me pause; Crumpled packs from cigarettes, Baggies filled with poop from pets. Water bottles, now depleted; Store receipts from sales completed. Many balled-up, wrinkled tissues Filled, no doubt, with slimy issues. Yogurt cups where stuff congeals; Peach pits and banana peels. Surely there are things I missed; This is just a partial list. In college one of my professors Used to challenge the transgressors. Not a great idea today, Yet somehow litterbugs should pay. So if you spy one in the act, Grab your phone and quick, react: Snap a photo – grant him fame. Perhaps we can clean up with shame!
