Recycled Thoughts - ã 2006

We take glass unless it’s broken

We take paper if it’s not too wooden

We don’t take card, as it’s too hard

Nor paper if it’s glossy

We are not fussy,

We are just choosy

We take tins by the hundred but

We don’t take plastic as that’s too drastic

We like to think we give a service

We like to think that we are green

Our customers may think we are a mess

That our ideas are not what they seem

One thing is for sure

We are all at sea

Our ideas of keeping our planet green

Is way off the mark, we are not what we seem

Perhaps, if we recycled our thoughts

And didn’t just pretend  

Our customers green ambitions

Would be met halfway in the end

A greener planet could then be achieved

If every last one of us could start and believe

That what was put out would be taken away

Whether glass or plastic, tin or card

Magazines or papers it shouldn’t be hard

Virtually everything is recyclable

It just needs effort and the will applied

Then generations to come could live greener lives
