Bags

Bags

I opened the kitchen cupboardΒ 
The one just below the sink,
And what I saw before me
Made me stop and thinkΒ 
-
Bags,
Plastic bags - and quite a lot of them
I’m pretty sure I’m gonna need them soon
But I’m really not sure when
-
I’d filled the bags with other bags
After shopping, every now and then,Β 
Now even some of the bags inside
Have bags inside of them!
-
When visitors see underneath Β my sink
They invariably ask me why?
Is something really bad gonna happenΒ 
And bags will be in short supply?
-
I say perhaps the apocalypse is near
We’ll need to save water some way,
There’ll be a mad panic for carrier bagsΒ 
And I’ll be there to save the day!Β

Dear John,

We all have seen them in the streets
"Bag Ladies" pushing shopping carts
But hidden near, there lives a man
Who hoards bags, he refuses part

.
He is saving them for the apocalypse
To fill with water all need to drink
His secret cache is easy find
Just check the cabinet neath his sink

Peace and Love,
Larry xxx
