last time i wrote of comics



that day we noticed plastic whales

while shopping. my daughter smiled



they were as i said. we gathered  goods

wrapped mainly in plastic



the invention must have seemed a good idea at the time



news came a whale was dying off norway

with sympathy they shot it

ending quickly

the suffering





its stomach lined with

thirty bags of plastic



you see



oh the irony
