What's This Then?

(Don't it just get ya when you think there's half a packet left, when there's none?)

It may not be of consequence,

a trifle petty some might say,

but why are empty packets here

instead of being thrown away?

Is it too much to ask of you

now you have helped your hungry selves

to throw away the evidence

you leave for me upon the shelves?

It's not that I want you to starve,

the food is there for all to eat.

If you have munched the lonely last

of custard creams or shredded wheat,

or any other brands we use,

please take the wrappings and dispense

them neatly in the nearest bin

before my tongue will cause offence.

(asking nicely)

We have teenagers in the house. Goes without saying. This is one of their little habits :) Thank you Dave.
