I TOOK A STROLL ON THE BEACH TODAY AND I GOT A NASTY SUPRIZE.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT RUBBISH THERE WAS BEFORE MY VERY EYES.
DOGGY BAGS LEFT THROWN THERE AND LOTS OF MESS NEVER CLEANED UP.
AFTER THERE DOG HAD USED OUR BEACH OR MAYBE SOMEONES PUP.
PARTS OF THE BEACH ARE RESTRICTED FOR DOGS TO PLAY AND TO SWIM.
BUT THESE MINDLESS PEOPLE WHO COME AND GO DON'T SEEM TO READ A THING..
DO THEY NOT REALISE CHILDREN COME TOO AND HAVE TO DIG AMONGST THIS.
IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TO SCOOP IT UP AND NOTHING THEN WOULD BE AMISS.
I WAS FEELING VERY ANGRY AND I'M TO WRITE TO THE LOCAL PRESS.
ABOUT ALL THIS FOULING ON THE BEACH IT IS SUCH A MESS.
THERE ARE SOME REALY NICE VISITORS WHO COME HERE AND ABIDE BY ALL THE RULES.
BUT YOU ALWAYS GET A FEW OTHERS WHO ARE IRRISPONSIBLE FOOLS.
IT'S THE SAME IN OUR TOWNS AND CITY'S WHY DON'T THEY USE ALL THE BINS.
POP CARTONS TAKE AWAY DISHES FOOD JUST THROWN WHAT A SIN.
SCATTERERED ABOUT ON THE FLOOR ALL AROUND AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE AT ALL.
AND OFTEN IV'EWATCHED THROUGH MY WINDOW AND IT'S NOT ALWAYS THOSE WHO ARE SMALL.
DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM IN YOUR TOWN WITH THIS RUBBISH ALL THROWN IN THE STREET.
I WISH THEY WOULD TAKE IT HOME WITH THEM AND LEAVE OUR TOWNS NICE AND NEAT.
DON'T YOU MAKE ANY WONDER OUR COUNCIL TAX RISES EACH YEAR.
IT'S ALL THINGS LIKE THIS THAT WE PAY FOR AND THE MORE THERE IS I FEAR.
OUR BILL WILL GET HIGHER AND HIGHER AS MORE STAFF TO BE EMPLOYED.
SO I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE MORE RESPECT FOR OUR TOWNS AND I WOULDN'T GET SO ANNOYED.
WHATS NICER THAN STROLLING ON THE BEACH ON A NICE WARM SUMMERS DAY,
WATCHING THE CHILDREN DIGGING AND SWIMMING AS WE GO ON OUR WAY.
OR FOR A WALK IN THE PARK JUST THE SAME BE WITH CHILDREN OR WITH A DOG.
NOT HAVING TO STEP HERE AND THERE MISSING MESS HOPPING AROUND LIKE A FROG.
IT'S VERY UNPLEASANT AND DIRTY WITH THE RUBBISH THEY SCATTER AROUND.
LYING ON BEACH AND PAVEMENTS JUST THROWN DOWN ON THE GROUND.
MY HEART ACHES WHEN I SEE ALL OF THIS AND I FEEL SO ANGRY AND SAD.
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU SEE THEM MY BLOOD BOILS I GET VERY MAD.
THE COUNCIL ARE HERE EACH MORNING CLEARING IT ALL AWAY.
THEN IT'S JUST THE SAME WHEN VISITORS HAVE BEEN BY THE END OF THE DAY.
THIS LITTER PROBLEM GETS WORSE I THINK AND I'M SURE NOT ENOUGH IS DONE.
I FEEL LIKE SAYING TO SOME OF THEM STAY AT HOME DON'T BOTHER TO COME.
AS WE CAN DO WITHOUT YOUR TYPE AND WE LIKE OUR TOWN SPOTLESS YOU SEE.
I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND ME WRITING THIS AS I THINK YOU WILL PROBABLY AGREE.
IF YOU DO HAVE A DOG SCOOP IT UP PLEASE WHEN YOU TAKE HIM OUT FOR A RUN.
THEN OUR TOWNS AND PARKS AND BEACHES WILL THEN BE CLEAN TO HAVE FUN.
SO I'LL LEAVE YOU NOW WITH MY THOUGHTS ON THIS UNTIL I WRITE NEXT TIME.
I HOPE I HAVE MADE A POINT TONIGHT HERE IN "MY SIMPLE RHYME".
