"Litterbug"
Litterbug, litterbug,
shame on you,
you throw your garbage everywhere,
not caring what you do.
You pitch it out of your windows
and dump it out of your truck,
trying to save a few pennies
or maybe even a buck.
Anyone who follows you,
can see there is a trail,
finding this and finding that
and sometimes finding your mail.
You take a beautiful place
and you ruin it for our eyes,
it's like taking the morning sun
so it never again will rise.
For every piece of litter,
that lies upon the earth,
takes away its beauty
and the value that its worth.
So litterbug,litterbug,
learn your lesson well,
because if we see you littering,
to someone....we will tell !
