Reggie the Rat was out mooching around
looking at things that were down on the ground.
He saw something shiny; he bent down to see,
it looked very pretty, but what could it be?
He took a huge sniff to see how it smelt
but it flew round his nose and his mouth like a belt!
He tried pulling it off, but it just seemed to be
Getting tighter and tighter - he couldn't break free!
Now, he couldn't speak, he couldn't cry out
He wanted to scream, he wanted to shout.
He started to cry, so frightened was he,
He thought, "I'll go home, my dad will help me!"
Now, Oswald the Owl had seen Reggie's plight,
and flew down beside him with the hope that he might
be able to help him, but it wasn't to be.
So they went to his home, and his Dad set him free.
Oswald then told them how Humans would bring
waste to the forest, like this milk bottle ring,
cigarette butts, and plastic, and drinking straws too,
without thought of the dangers to creatures like you.
