The Original Beige Colored Plastic Bag
The original beige colored plastic bag
that held the ant killer bag, I finally figured out,
had a hole in it. It leaked a little bit on the round
green plastic table on the back patio. Actually,
it turned out, there were a lot of small holes in the
beige colored plastic bag.
I put the ant killer bag, also plastic but thicker,
inside another plastic bag, a white colored bag this
time with no holes in it. (I made sure of that.) A
good move I think, don’t you?
I threw the beige colored plastic bag, crumpled
up, into the cylindrical shaped garbage bag
container in the kitchen.
If I had anything more to say about the original
beige colored plastic bag or even the white colored
plastic bag that now holds the ant killer, I’m sure that
I would have said it by this time.
