Woodsy Owl

The Rubbish Rap


Woodsy: Get a plastic bucket and get ready! It"s time to sing the Rubbish Rap!

Here I go with an owl rap About taking some garbage off the map. 

The trash from your breakfast yesterday Can turn into plant food the Woodsy Way!

It's the Rubbish Rot, it"s the Rubbish Rot You think its garbage, but I do not!

Take eggshells, coffee grounds and add some dirt. A few earthworms or night crawlers wouldn't hurt! Stir it gently with a wooden spoon While I sing more of my garbage tune!

It's the Rubbish Rot, it's the Rubbish Rot You think its garbage, but I do not!

Kids love ripe bananas, they taste so sweet Add their peels to our rotten treat. Pour in a little water, put the bucket outside In about six weeks, look inside!

It's the Rubbish Rot, it's the Rubbish Rot You think it's garbage, but I do not!

All the yuck and muck has gone away. What's left is plant food made nature's way! My rubbish rap is about to end. Now you know how garbage can grow food again!



Notes to the rot: this is rewritten as a rap experiment instead of a cake recipe because it doesn't end up looking or baking like a cake.
