Poems by Graham Jenkinson - A Bag For Life & Strange Fruit

Here are another 2 poems from my book A Heterogenous Collection - I have not uploaded any for a while so I thought I would share more - I hope the listener enjoys them -
A Bag for life was written after looking at just how many carrier bags I had ! Strange Fruit was written after a walk in the countryside and being dismayed by the amount of rubbish which was everywhere ! We seem to have become a very uncaring generation where it is easier to throw their rubbish wherever they are even if their is a bin nearby !

Good Morning Christine , thank you for the comment - I wonder why we keep so many ! in my case I think it is " they will come in useful one day " on the upside we are saving the planet by not sending them to landfill ! have a lovely Friday :-)

Plastic bag draw sounds like my kitchen units and now they are 10 pence and as for litter it's a pet hate especially McDonald's their waste is everywhere and usually near a council bin though they are becoming few and far 👍

You always see rubbish round bins, lazy gits! 😂

Good Morning Robert, thank you for the comment - I have too many of them and would hate to think how much they have cost over the years ! Strange Fruit ! yes there is rubbish everywhere you go these days and there are always bins close to where it was thrown ! senseless - the beaches on Anglesey are always left full of rubbish by the tourists and it is so wrong ! those caught should be fined heavily to try and stop them ! there is no need at all for the mess ! congratulations on last nights Annihilation of Norwich - I wonder who will be joining Leeds at Wembley ? have a great Friday my Friend :-)
