A Children’s Story for Adults: Bob the Good Consumer

Satirical, about consumerism and environment.

Bob was watching TV and decided he had to find something to buy.
He shops, shops, shops and spends, spends, spends and he doesn’t know why.

Gadgets, Gidgets and thing-a-ma-jigs.
Til he has so much stuff he wishes it weren’t his.

So out to the garbage, toss ‘em away.
And into the landfills, where they will stay.

Leaking chemicals and poisons into the Earth.
All because Bob doesn’t know what clean air and water are worth.

So Bob can buy more radios, TVs, and thongs.
Made by poor kids in China, Thailand and Taiwan.

Who slave to make pennies a day.
While Bob keeps buying and throwing away.

Do get to the store Bob, right away, in due haste.
Cause the more you can buy, the more you can waste.
