My single use plastic heart

 It is recycling day tomorrow

And I'm trying to decide where to put 

you

is it a glass heart, or plastic?

Perhaps a carboard heart after all

A single use plastic heart

That just clogs up the world's oceans

When I flush it down the loo


I say ban single use plastic hearts

Perhaps that's not a radical view

Many have come to that conclusion before me

Including you


Well it could have been made of

recycled plastic

It's been used many times before

It goes soggy in the rain

Like the cardboard

And like glass I'm sure its see through

Just which heart shaped box

Should I toss it in?

Which one

Before I buy one anew?
