RECYCLING

After toddlers are potty trained

we can all breathe a sigh of relief

as the earth turns recycled shit into slurry

packed in plastic

in no great hurry to regurgitate.

 

Their beautiful little smiling faces

not showing signs of our easy disgraces,

as we bury our faults in earthy vaults

while showing off our progeny,

 

who soon enough will start to bewail

our contributions to amoeba and the whale.

David, master clip . Bloody hilarious and so right - touches of Dave Allen in another style. Watch out Michael McIntyre.

Thanks for the observations Po. I tried to bring some humour to the table and was lucky with the bewail/whale combo. Sometimes it works....

Thanks to Tom and to Big Sal for reading and approving, cheers.

Brian, thanks for recognizing the symptoms. No escaping the needs, but just a thought - apparently the only part of the outfit that can't be recycled is the plastic I believe, so there we go again.

Thanks Alan, I agree with that. Imagine one day the swamp thing rising up from the detritus. Gawd 'elp us.

A salutary comment David. There's just no winning from certain perspectives. Thanks.

Martin, I am counting on your support and the others on the site to raise awareness - trouble is it's all a smear campaign.

Ray . Have happy Xmases...

Don't get me started.!
Use old-fashioned nappies.
Hang them on the line as a symbol
Of your eco-modernist status.
AND SAVE MONEY!

A subtle pop at the disposable nappy industry which we have all contributed to at some time or other I expect. As a new grandad I am acutely aware of how many she goes through. Good one Ray.
