Have You Noticed?

Well done on trying to make your town a nicer place to live. I totally respect people like you. I despise litterbugs. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"Three things that take forever to get here: birthday, Christmas, and the pizza delivery boy." - Garfield the Cat

I hate that, too. Here in Germany, people have been celebrating the carnival these days and there were empty bottles, grimy pizza boxes and sweets wrappers all over town. I am also one of the people who pick up their dog´s messes and I cannot understand why others don´t bother. (Yuk!) Yours, ~Nina

Oh BRAVO!!! I loved this little write, I loved the shift in tempo & I LOVED the message. I was shocked recently when a friend threw some rubbish out of my car window, yes it was only a lolly wrapper, but I would never think to do it. I remember after picking up some rubbish a tourist had dropped in my town, scooping it up & tapping them, pointing out they had dropped this, it may be important (of course it wasn't!) & if they no longer needed it, there were several bins within arms reach up & down the street. Dropping rubbish like that would be, to me, like just standing in the street & peeing yourself when toilets are within walking distance. Hmmm I'm sounding righteous... guess it's soemthing I feel passionate about. Anni I wish to walk gracefully..... so as not to spill water.

Ron, reminds me of Iron Eyes Cody anti-litter commercial i think of 70's. Remember it? For those too young, or from another country, Iron Eyes Cody is an American Indian, and one tear falls from his eyes at the sight of all the litter on American highways. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzlplIeXn2g&feature=related Thank you for your poem, wonderfully versed. ~A "There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic." Anais Nin
