Canvas Bags - Tim Minchin




Take your canvas bags
When you go
To the supermarket
Why use plastic bags when you know
You know the world can't take it


Take your canvas bags
When you go
To the supermarket market market
Don't you use those plastic ones
No, no, no
Don't you know that you'll feel better for it


Take your canvas bags
Take your canvas bags
Take your canvas bags
To the supermarket


Just think about the world
And how the world would be fantastic
If we got rid of all the plastic
We just need to get enthusiastic
Start a competition gymnastic
Or a bag making comp at your school
Fuck it, make it interscholastic
Canvas is for everyone
Whether you be rebellious and iconoclastic
Or conservative or ecclesiastic
I don't care if you're loud and bombastic
Or quiet or virtually monastic
Sober or on the floor spastic
Yoga master or completely inelastic
I'm not trying to be ironic or sarcastic
Just do something drastic
To rid the world of plastic


Take your canvas bags
Take your canvas bags
Take your canvas bags
To the supermarket
Black out...!

Tim Minchin always makes me laugh. Especially this song which is so relevant to where we are now in our world. I thought of it today when the girl was packing my shopping at Sainsbury's this evening. And I can think of one or two other people who read this who would like the song so... enjoy.

I have about 1K words done for NaNo. Must do some more later.
