The Attack of the Plastic

It started innocently enough.  The local grocery stores started putting my purchases in plastic bags.  They're tough, I was told...and would save trees...and were recyclable.  Okay.  We'll see.  But now, the planet is being overrun with the insidious things!

I started saving the bags to reuse.  I put them inside one another and placed them on the floor of the pantry.  But they started reproducing.  The longer they were in there, the more there were.  They have taken on a life of their own, growing and taking up more and more space, sucking the oxygen out of the air in my kitchen...More and more and MORE!  The local grocery store stopped accepting them for recycling.  Still more bags!  And now they are eating cans of food.  My daughter dropped a can into the midst...and it simply disappeared from view...never to be found.  More bags!

And now, the wicked plastic things have burst through the pantry door and are spilling out into the kitchen, slowly inching their way across the floor.  It's only a matter of time before one of them grabs me by the ankle and pulls me into the....gulp...  No!  Not my face!  Don't get over my face!  <struggle, struggle)...GASP.  Help!!!!!!!!!
