HEY YOU! BITTER ABOUT LITTER

Just back from a long walk this morning and, once again, I'm apoplectic about litter. So, I've no qualms about repeating this.......

BITTER ABOUT LITTER

A while ago, I wrote this poem about litter:

Hey you,

Yes you,

You who tossed away

The carrier bag,

The cigarette end,

The leaflet,

The receipt,

The free newspaper,

The can,

The bottle,

The sausage roll wrapper,

Pick up your litter, scruff,

Or I’ll flush you

down the crapper.

I'm just back from a walk in a beautiful country park and I took a note of these items, discarded along the way:

crisp packet,

Aero chocolate wrapper

plastic water bottle

Coca-Cola bottle

coffee cup

leaflet

another Coca-Cola bottle

tissues

Polo mint wrapper

water bottle label

another water bottle label

yet another water bottle label

handkerchief

train ticket

J-cloth

receipt

chewing gun wrapper

plastic carrier bag

plastic bread bag

cellophane salad bag

chocolate eclair sweet wrapper

I refer you to the last three lines of the poem above.
