Plastic Fantastic Cowboy

Some time before me,
It came to be.
It now leaves itself in refuse
For all to ignore but see.

When Dustin Hoffman
Was a young man
Mr. Robinson said
Use your head:

"Plastic!
That's the future young man!"
Better look out,
Before "future's" done.

Now it sets
Beside the road,
Someone's trash can
To add to tons to the load.

Darn that planet
It doesn't have a cup.
We ought to recycle
'Fore it fills earth up.
