T’was the night after Christmas and all through the city,
Packaging was littered about — such a pity …
Recycle your gift boxes, cards and old toys,
Small appliances and electronics for girls and boys.
Recycle your papers, letters and tree stands.
Whether curbside or drop-off, it’s easy to carry,
Healing our planet helps us all be more merry.
The impact you make is important to know,
Whether sunny or raining or starting to snow.
Our lakes will be clearer; our parks more green,
Our planet looks nicer when pretty and clean.
Now children, this story is not just for you,
It’s important for grown-ups to recycle, too.
Reduce and reuse are things to remember,
To do year round, not just in December!
