It's so SATISFYING smashing bottles, while at the same time feeling that you're doing something GOOD (while at the same time feeling slightly guilty that you've accumulated so many in such a short space of time without even the excuse of hosting a party for at least sixty seven people)
Wendy Cope is one of my favourite poets. Here's what this morning brought to mind:
A Green Song
to sing at the bottle bank
(from Serious Concerns)
One green bottle,
Drop it in the bank
Ten green bottles,
What a lot we drank
Heaps of bottles
And yesterday's a blank
But we'll save the planet,
tinkle, tinkle, clank!
We've got bottles -
Nice, percussive trash
Bags of bottles
Cleaned us out of cash
Empty bottles,
We love to hear them smash
And we'll save the planet
tinkle, tinkle, crash!
