Broken bottles on ground at the corner

Paper bags and napkins, all this morning

Along with other empty bottles - Colt 45

Left by who knows who, but he's alive



And, anyone who has a sense of nature

And, who is also grown and quite mature

Should know better than to make a mess 

On the ground where others will be a test



To their inconsideration, when walking

At place where kids wait for bus, talking

And playing, one could fall and so cut

On broken glass shards, made by a nut ...



- Tristram
