Responsibly, you walk your dog,
You even bring a bag.
Then carefully you bend and scoop.
Perhaps you even gag.
You deftly tie a tidy knot,
While eyeing up our bin,
With furtive look and artful lob,
You cast that bag within.
But do you ever stop and pause
A moment, just to think,
Why we would want our garbage can
To house this awful stink?
So take your leash and family pet,
And off, please freely roam.
Just kindly bear your burden hence,
And take your baggie, home.
