Rubbish

The world is full of rubbish I see it all around Strewn along the pavements And scattered ‘cross the ground It hangs on outstretched branches Like washing on a line Dumped into the river Oh, aint it such a crime You'll find it in the gutter Amassed around the trees Tangled in the hedges And carried by the breeze Blown around like tumbleweed You'll find it everywhere It wraps around my feet Then flies into my hair So if you are responsible For putting it about Shame on you because its clear You're just a litter-lout! And hence, my friend, I ask you What should we do with it - Put it in the dustbin But make sure it will fit There's also verbal rubbish That rolls right off the tongue The stuff that's made of words That rattle all day long You'll hear it on the telly Which isn't very good I'm sure you will agree It's just a heap of crud Some politicians spout it And those who have no brains Writers even write it When nothing else remains So, all my fellow poets, If what you have to say Amounts to simply rubbish Then put your pen away Methinks the time is coming To take my final bow Terminate this nonsense And end it, stop it now I know what you are thinking (Some words I can't repeat) This rhyme's a load of rubbish Which PH should delete
