I found seashells and driftwood, Cans and bottles and much more Like diapers and picnic stuff While walking along the shore. I found cigarette butts and bags And those horrendous soda holders That catch on sea life and twist them In their middle or at their shoulder. I saw palm trees and jacaranda Waving in the balmy breeze And broken plastic lawn chairs Leaning against the lovely trees. I found six-packer carriers sitting With all the beer bottles inside. I saw pieces of bicycles and big batteries And I swear I almost sat and cried. But I had too much to do right then Gathering up all that random junk. I carried them to a ******* bin And I threw it all in, kerthunk! I wondered for the hundredth time The parents these creeps had That let them grow so ill behaved, And so embarrassingly bad. What kind of selfish brat can come And look out on this lovely scene And throw their ******* all around? How can they be so mean? It makes me hope for recompense; That what goes around come again And we can stash these human pigs Into an appropriate kind of pen.
