Munday on Monday: Plastic trash bag
Plastic trash bag
A plastic bag for trash — unscroll
From tightly wound white plastic roll.
But getting bag to open (geez!)
Will prove a chore for Hercules.
One edge I’ll try — another — three —
A fourth — yet none will open, see?
You’d think this task is easy, quick;
It must involve some magic trick.
With finger/thumb, each edge I rub,
Yet sealed shut remains each stub.
But finally I find the knack:
I’ll use (instead) a paper sack.
