A litter ditty

                                                                         

I try not to be bitter,

About litterbugs and litter.

But sometime it’s hard,

When I see blatant disregard

And lack of pride,

In our community of Leaside.

Dog poop in the parks,

Empty pop cans in planters.

I ask myself and others, 

Where are Leasiders’ manners?

And cigarette butts abound,

On the sidewalks and ground.

Do smokers not see

How gross these soggy
butts can be?

At times I despair,

When I see litter everywhere!

No matter the weather,

Let’s all work together.

Make your favourite
space greener

Leave our world a
little cleaner
