Plastic Straw

The plastic straw soon becomes  waste,
And thereafter is thrown away,
As pollution, becomes encased,
Because plastic does not decay.
It's taken far too long but now
There's plastic straw alternatives.
Consumers are finding out how
A changeable bad habit gives
The environment a better chance
To recover from plastic woe,
Now too often the circumstance,
And it really sucks - doncha know!

Now here's a fact of shock and awe -
The first straws were made from real straw!
