Garbage, ‘toxic gift’

Dear Editor:

Another wonderful festival of lights with a line of tractors lighting up the night.

They brought their kids, dogs and … ladders?

No one missed the site of Santa and Mrs. Claus, who brought up the rear when the crowd cheered.

Soon after they all cleared the power lines and all the crowds soon disappeared.

Out with a rush they all ran to their cars, only to be in a five-mile traffic jam.

Not only did they rush off the street, but they left behind a monstrous heap … of garbage that is … on our little Main Street.

From coffee cups to popcorn boxes, was it the lack of garbage cans not available for these tractor fans?

My pups like the butts so thoughtlessly dropped, they hoover it up like a treat at the store.

We were just short of a trip to the vet for a costly bill for the little toxic gift.

So next year beware, if there is more garbage left behind, you will be the one getting a hefty fine.

Maybe a little “climate habit change” to make the land pretty again.
