A pantoum shout-out.
Basics of Pantoum: Any length, composed of four-line stanzas in which each stanza's second and fourth lines serve as the next stanza's first and third lines. The last line of a pantoum is often the same as the first.
The basic form of the pantoum is a quatrain with an abab rhyme scheme. Each line contains between eight and twelve syllables. (ab) has no immediate logical or narrative connection with the second pair of lines (ab). The pantoum is sung very slowly according to a fixed rhythm. Adapted from Bing or Goggle
I do not like littering anywhere
I simply do not like littering
I am reminded when looking over there
at that big pile of trash in that ring

I simply do not like littering
Not here or there not nowhere
at that big pile of trash in that ring
full of bottles and glass and hair

Not here or there, not nowhere
Stop using plastic and teach your children recycling
full of bottles and glass and hair
repurpose, reuse, and reduce use when cycling

Stop using plastic and teach your children recycling
It is not polite to stare but it's okay to share
repurpose, reuse, and reduce use when cycling
I do not like littering anywhere!
