PLASTIPHOBIA   by LOB
---------------------------------
The planet is turning plastic
I see it all around
From plastic trees to plastic clothes
To plastics to make sound
plastics with thier own names
like "Tupperware" and such,
platsics made to play with games
that dont cost very much.
Plastics in all sorts of shapes
and with textured sides.
Plastic made to look like grapes
that dont taste good inside.
Plastics of all sizes
small, medium, and large
plastic wallet surprizes,
for that faithful Christmas charge.

Plastic parts for autos
plastic parts for bikes
for trucks and boats, planes & trains
and even plastic trikes
plastic toys for kiddies
plastic toys for dad
plastic toys that mom
wont admit she's had.
There's plastic guns and plastic fear
"Plastiphobia", the doctors boast
I'm sure there will soon be plasic beer
so we can drink a plastic toast.
There's plastic people inside stores
wearing polyester clothes
I only have one question more,
can I see where polyester grows??

My friend wanted to be plastic
so he could never die
I told him they'd probably melt him down
he just wondered and sighed
About the big takeover
The plastic is everywhere!
There is plastic in you home
and I bet you dont even care!
There's even plastic mirrors, 
they've synthicated glass!
listen up you other materials
Plastic is kicking ass!
Earth's rich wood, man made steel
and good 'ol hard concrete
better think of something
because plastic's got you beat!
Because the plastic is consuming
it has your every mood
from your favorite entertainment
to the wrapping on your food.
Can plastic be stopped?
is the question at hand
before we wake to find out
we live in Plasticland.
