Plastic Water

As plastic fills the ocean and all turtles look strangled.
When they eat the plastic they get tangled, mangled.
When the fish eat the bottle caps.
They can't swallow it perhaps.
All those saucy fish packets, the whales get sick.
Making all those stingrays not getting picked.
The plastic on the sea bed the squid have a nibble
As they die on the coral
As the Coles bags get set to sea
As the pelicans come to eat
