Plastic Bottles Strewn Across Lawns
Before Earth Day I rode through Central Park,
I spotted plastic bottles strewn across lawns...
it wasn't the mischievous wind that scattered them and made them dance,
but it was humans who didn't care and bothered to dispose of them!
Twelve thirty was the exact hour when an unkept man collected them
as gems, and they were only worthy five cents;
once I yelled at a very young man as thin as a stork,
but his response was too sarcastic for my frowns!
P.S. If you see someone litter,
please remind him/her to dispose them
in a garbage pail. It will help
to keep our parks and streets clean.
Care about your environment by setting a good example.
