Garbage Poem

To all the Garbage Throwers 
Who see this as a game 
I just wanted to let you know 
I thank you just the same 

Right after I clean up your garbage 
I see you put it all right back there 
Even if I put it under a rock to bag later
You take it out and throw it everywhere 

Yes! I see we are playing a game 
Oh I love games, that's true 
So I just wanted to thank you 
For the game I play with you 

I will learn to smile each day
As I pick it all back up 
Even though you continue
To throw around your McDonald's  cups

May you learn to shine beautiful 
May you find a reason to smile 
If this helps give it to you 
Then I'll go the extra mile!

For perhaps I need to learn patience 
Perhaps you need to learn respect 
Perhaps I need to learn see the bright side
And perhaps you need a little regret

But whatever path we are on 
Whatever lesson we have to learn 
We can turn it all into a game for now 
Question is... who should get the last turn?
