Litterbug Litterbug, Shame On You

Litterbug Litterbug, Shame On You

 

Take a look around

And tell me what you see

Can you see the ground?

Is it as clean as it should be?

 

The strongest pull of guilt

On your conscience a big tug

As you carelessly toss your trash

Don’t you feel like a Litterbug?

 

Remember the old limerick

“Litterbug Litterbug, shame on you”

You barely gave it a thought

And now the Litterbug is you

 

Not all that hard

To hold onto that trash

Till you get to where you’re going

And in the rubbish you can stash

 

You see the “NO LITTERING” signs

But you don’t really care

You say it’s not your problem

Until one day it holds your stare

 

A global responsibility

We all must do our part

Use a little common sense

And think with your heart

 

We belong to the Earth

Not the other way around

Please remember this BEFORE

You toss your trash on the ground
