What’s that odor I smell today

Wafting my way on the breeze

Nobody changed the litter

Politicians just do as they please

Nobody brought in the scooper

Now the problems are starting to mount

After I’ve paid all my taxes

I’ve very little money to count

All the roads are laden with potholes

The environment has lost its appeal

When nobody changes the litter

Legislators will continue to steal

Campaigners throw litter like confetti

Showering us with its ill effects

Promising things will be better

In spite of what everyone expects

They say there is safety in numbers

In politics that surely is true

There is only one way we get rid of the turds

Change the litter is what we must do
