Turtles Way

Turtle having a normal day
Finds a plastic bag in its way
Should he eat it, should he not
What’s the harm in the bag rot
The bag cannot be dangerous
But he forgot his friend who ate the rot
The turtle opens its mouth wide
Yearning for the jelly outside
As the jelly fills his belly
The plastic seeps into his stomach and makes him want to vomit
He washes up on the shore
He thinks he can survive no more
Then someone comes out to help
Brings the bag out of his belly
Releases him out again
Safety from the awful rot
In a safe, brand new spot
So next time you throw a bag away
Think where it may go astray
