Stay Trashy

A Poem by Cadence Bommarito

There he sat, little trash panda

Belly full of his munch’ins

Mmm, mmm sippin’ strawberry Fanta

You can see him crunchin’ crackers, can’t ya?

Over by the dumpsters, behind brick walls

There he sat, little trash panda

Here by the corn fields of lil ole Indiana

Carefree bandit sits

Mmm, mmm sippin’ strawberry Fanta

I try to point out the mess he made to grandpa

“Oh no bother,” he said

There he sat, little trash panda

Sittin’ still, no fuzzy guy won’t stand up

Reaching for another bag of peanuts

Mmm mmm, sippin’ strawberry Fanta

And now I appreciate him and his crumbs

Despite that he’s one big ole lazy bum

There he sat, little trash panda

Mmm, mmm sippin’ strawberry Fanta
