I use reusable grocery bags because I love the environment and have decided I’m a patriot,

and because someone told me something about the dolphins that I promptly forgot,

but thought it would be a good idea to be seen as a great guy in the scheme of things,

though I couldn’t honestly say what I was scheming for,

because I don’t think I’d care one way or another if London Bridge tumbles and we all fall down,

in fact, I sometimes think I root for calamity,

unless it involves me participating in a revolution, because I’m gonna be honest with you,

it kinda takes a lot of energy reusing the same grocery bags over and over,

so I don’t think I have it in me to join whatever movement you’re pushing buddy,

maybe it’s time to move along
