Put A Cap On Your Trash

To the Tune of ‘Show Me’ From My Fair Lady?

Here’s ‘Unchoke Me’ From My Fair Mother Earth

Caps!  Caps!  Caps!I'm so sick of caps!Blighting my beaches through;A bottle here, toothbrush there, is that all you plastics do? Don’t talk of love, shining above.  If I’m planet you love?  Don’t choke me! Tell me no dreams filled with perspire.  On climate change fire?  Why choke me?  Don’t just exclaim.  Why choke me?  Unchoke me NOW!  See sweat on mom’s brow, wrinkles to boot.  You careless galoot.  Put your snoot to the ground, be house guest not clown and cowtow.Don’t choke me!  Unchoke me NOW! When you’re together in the middle of the beach, don’t be a leech.  Don’t talk proud. Boasting aloud.  You enviro liar!Don’t choke me!  Pick up those caps.  Throttle those bottles.  Global warm burns.  So don’t just exclaim.  Stop with the game.  See my ire!Don’t choke me!  Unchoke me NOW!
