Whatta a great feeling waking up with the birds
To hell with the crankies, they're all full of turds
A positive outlook
In life's donnybrook
Guarantees a great day, the poopy stuff it curbs
Whatta a great feeling waking up with the birds
To hell with the crankies, they're all full of turds
A positive outlook
In life's donnybrook
Guarantees a great day, the poopy stuff it curbs
Whatta a great feeling waking up with the birds
To hell with the crankies, they're all full of turds
A positive outlook
In life's donnybrook
Guarantees a great day, the poopy stuff it curbs
It seems every time I buy some stuff
It comes wrapped up in more stuff
I'm so sick and tired of all this trash
I say "enough's enough"
So tomorrow I'm packing it all in a crate
With a bio-degradable liner
Then slapping it with some postage
And sending it back to China
Yep--it's all for the contest
STUFF IT!!
Want IT! Gotta have IT! Need IT!
Can’t be the only one without IT!
I’m entitled to IT!!
In ten years I’ve gone through 15 “phones”,
amassed a collection of 35 pairs of shoes and boots,
joined the recycling and environmental clubs,
put solar panels on my roof, and a fire pit in my yard.
I ride my bicycle to the golf course and Yacht Club.
WHAT!!! YOU SAY I DON’T NEED IT!!!
I should downsize, outsource, repurpose
the box I think I think outside of….
Stop being the source of high end pollution
at both ends – creation and destruction.
Where will we put the flotsam and jetsam of our lives??
How about in the proper recycling containers,
finding some place where they can be reused, repurposed.
The next time you Want IT!
Gotta have IT!
Need IT!
STUFF IT!!!

For Stuff Contest
I worked in a bowlin' place settin' pins,
Tryin' not to let a ball break my shins!
In those days of yore, pins were set by hand,
And you had to hustle to beat the band!
I was around fourteen when I was hired,
And was around fourteen when I was fired!
The boss man paid me fifty cents per hour,
'Til one night our relationship went sour!
I advised him where he could stuff the job!
Said he, "Find another line of work, Bob!"
Couldn't face workin' there 'til I retired.
Found work pumpin' gas when I was rehired!
