Up To Your Knees

I think I'm fantastic, indestructable plastic I dwell on the land and the sea, Try as you will, any landfill There's no way to get rid of me. We are in our millions, heading towards billions We'll soon be up to your knees, Yet you pay no heed, the earth she may plead, But still, you do as you please.

A classy plea for recycling and saving the earth/sea. Not the usual harangue. It's a FAVE for me, Gary. Best wishes, Gershon
