BE A JITTERBUGGA NOT A LITTERBUGGA ! ANGELA & BRIAN ~ A DITTY !

ANGELA & BRIAN



 

YOUR LITTER DESTROYS PLANET EARTH ~ FOR YOUR CHILDREN !

 

FRIEND ~ When you sit or stray or take your ease

On Moor or fell or under Spreading Trees !

Pray ~ leave no traces of your wayside meal .......

No plastic bottles - bags or scattered orange peel !

No morning papers littered on the grass 

Other may view these with distaste and pass !

And don*t let others say this to your shame

That all was BEAUTY HERE until YOU came !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love Angela & Brian ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก

 

This DITTY is based on a Poem posted in the ENGLISH LAKE DISTRICT

to encourage Visitors to *Take their Litter Home* !  Do YOU ? ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก

    I share your sentiments 100%. I cannot understand how folk can be so utterly disrespectful of our beautiful planet.

    Yes i take mine and other people's litter home.

    • ANGELA & BRIAN

      Thanks for caring *DA* pleased you appreciated the Message. Im biaised because I was born in Lancashire ~ so I think the Lake District is the most beautiful place on Earth ! Angela agrees with me. Our philosophy (litterwise) is the same as yours. When we visit a picnic site (like the one pictured) we always have a Black Bag and spend on hour removing everyones lousy litter. Because the majority of people are still not green the future of Planet Earth is now in real jepardy ! WE haven't got any kids yet (married in 2020 !) but we sometimes wonder what we would be letting them in for ? They would still be alive (touch wood) in 2100 when the Balloon (Planet Earth) really will have gone UP UP UP ! I (BRIAN) will only be 100 (like todays temerature in Essex) in 2083 so I might live to see the worst !

      Blessings to YOU & YOURS
      Yours ANGELA & BRIAN ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™
      We will be off-line for a few days.

      Top marks for this outcry on what is left as litter by the many - - well said and I second this fact to our shame - - - bring back tidy times and enjoy the countryside without any trash........

      • ANGELA & BRIAN

        Thanks FAY for your interesting comment ! Are you implying that before we were born (say 40 years ago) people were more concerned about the environment and too litter home ?

        Blessings & Peace & Love
        Yours ANGELA & BRIAN ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™

        This is a funny, and yet very true piece. I really like the title. Unfortunately, I wish my neighborhood could read your poem. Fortunately, the city is trying to clean it up.
        Persistence is key

          Thnaks for your comment DION ~ Godliness evokes Cleanliness ~ Most CITIES in my experience could do a DEEP CLEANSING ~ AMEN

          A fine write B&A. Fido barks if he sees any drop litter!

          • ANGELA & BRIAN

            Thanks Uncle Steve ~ If We ever feel the urge to be litter louts we will watch out for FIDOBUS FIDOBI ! We would hate to in~cur his wrath !

            To all those that leave their signature trash, as if marking their territory, I say that they should be forced to live in city dumps to realize what impact they leave on all of us.

            • ANGELA & BRIAN

              My object all sublime
              I will achieve in time
              To make the penalty fit the crime
              The penalty fit the crime !

              Thanks for sharing SURESH !
              Peace & Joy

              I've been in cities like NYC where it is dirty and littered, but we don't deal with that in my little town. I feel sorry for people who have to deal with that!

              • ANGELA & BRIAN

                Thanks CHRIS ~ We always say that the Garbage Collectors need respect & a rise ! But also we need to give them less work to do !

                I so thoroughly agree with you, there is a sign that I have seen in some areas in Britain which says:
                "Take nothing but pictures,
                leave nothing but footprints,
                kill nothing but time".

                • ANGELA & BRIAN

                  Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ Love your MANTRA We all need to be more vigilant. Also as DA says we need to be prepraed to cean up the whole desecrated site ~ AMEN

                  Blessings & Love to YOU & JOYCE
                  Yours ANGELA & BRIAN ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก
