No, I Don't Need a Bag

I have a little shopping sack

That folds into a square.

It’s nylon; tucked inside my bag,

I hardly know it’s there.

 

The one I carry’s navy blue

With lots of bright green stars

And it is strong enough to schlep

Some boxes, cans or jars.

 

In stores, they ask, “You need a bag?”

For they’re no longer free.

I shake my head, unfolding mine

And I am proud of me.

 

Of course, I never carried one

When bags were given out

And if I didn’t have to pay,

I’d use the store’s, no doubt.

 

Yet now I do my little part

(Whatever it is worth)

To save some pennies, but of course,

To help out Mother Earth.
