Pick-Up and Deliver (Properly)

It is April and Spring shows its hand

Flowers blooming

Trees budding

Mowers buzzing

Shovels clunking

Birds Chirping

Fresh dirt fragrance mixed with blooms

Waft through the air

April and Spring are pushing forward

Walks through the neighborhoods and parks

Allows all of us to view the surprise packages

Little blue or green or black or clear bags

Peeking out from rocks and bushes,

Lying by the curb, almost like a flower

Not natural like the contents

Disintegration takes hundreds of years

Those little treasures left by dog owners

Along sidewalks and pathways,

I wonder what type of elf is expected to pick them?

Dog lovers and those that aren’t would rather

Those attractive bags go home with the owners

That bestowed them along the paths well taken.

Or at least dropped in the proper repository

All who enjoy being outside will thank you!
