That's a lot of plastic, alright! I guess we get used to the ubiquity of the product, but laying it out like that makes it scary.

Still, Bakelite (an early plastic, granted) wouldn't generate the same lyrical quality, and the whales, buffalo, and every other animal with bone, skin or meat might be happy enough with the alternative to their product!

a good kickoff to your poetry output, and welcome to the site.

Never stop - I liked the play of this, and the hidden meaning you were seeing. I even liked the rhythm and jest. Keep em coming - look forward to more. Nice write. Thank you for sharing, P

Witty and perceptive. The almost dark comedy lends itself to the overall truth of the message. The bouncy, nursery-rhyme-like feel that masks the horror that is modern society is punctuated by the final line. The poem reminds me of a retelling of the Kinks song, "Plastic Man," by poet E.E. Cummings (famous for such covertly dark works as, "In Just Spring.") Never stop writing; You can only improve.

I can actually fit this t o the song by Madness,'oh what fun we had,'appropriate maybe for this mad world.This is effective expressive and you shouldn't have left it so long before you wrote a poem!
