A Recycle Epiphany
A Recycle Epiphany
By
T.S.Zakem III
Glass is an amazing thing
Made long before Christ the King
Glass is a quid pro quo
We would get a deposit on bottles long ago
Kids would pick up bottles for a nickel or a dime
But plastics in this day is sublime
Glass you can sterilize now and then
Or melt it down and start over again
You can twist it
Blow it
Cut it
Stretch it
Into any shape you see fit
You’ll never see a Tiffany in plastic
Because glass is much more fantastic
Igor wouldn’t have broken a plastic jar
And Mary Shelly’s story wouldn’t get far
So lets’ start to recycle all our glass bottles and jars
And become environmental superstars
