We Are Plooters

Jack Prelutsky

We are Plooters,

We don't care,

We make messes

Everywhere,

We strip forests

Bare of trees,

We dump garbage

In the seas.

We are Plooters,

We enjoy

Finding beauty

To destroy,

We intrude

Where creatures thrive,

Soon there's little

Left alive.

Underwater,

Underground,

Nothing's safe

When we're around,

We spew poisons

In the air,

We are Plooters,

We don't care.
